Ice Bubbles

I shot this one a couple of weeks ago, and just developed the film this week.  This is a sheet of Kodak T-Max 100 4" x 5", rated at 80 iso and given normal development in 510 Pyro.  Development was for 8:00 minutes at 24C.
Last time I was out at Nordegg I took a drive up to Abraham Lake.  Most of the lake still had open water at that time, but ice was starting to form at the upper end, by Preachers Point.  Although we had a bunch of snow at Nordegg, what little fell up by Preachers Point was mostly swept away by the wind.  It was a beautiful mild day and the breeze was light.  I managed to set up my view camera and take a few photographs, including this one.
I shot this on December 4th at about 1:20 in the afternoon.  I used my Ebony view camera and a slightly wide Fujinon 125mm lens.  A #25 Red filter deepened the value of the sky, and made the snowy peaks stand out.  It also darkened the ice and made the bubbles a little more obvious.  The exposure was for 1 second at F20.0.
