Ice Bells

This is a scan of a recently processed sheet of Efke PL25M film.  This film was discontinued a number of years ago, but I still have several fifty sheet boxes of 4" x 5" in my freezer, and will continue to shoot it for some time.  I rate the film at 10iso, so it allows long shutter speeds, even in broad daylight. 
I threw a few sheets of it into the mixed batch that I developed on March 12th, just to fill up the tanks to 20 sheets.  Development was in Rodinal 1:50, for 7:00 minutes, at 24C.  I used the Adox APH-09 version of Rodinal.
I shot this last fall when Margarit and I were out for a walk.  These ice bells formed along Dry Haven Creek, west of our place in Nordegg.  I shot this on November 6th at about 1:20 in the afternoon.  I used my Ebony SV45Ti view camera and a long Fujinon 300mm lens.  The exposure was for 16 seconds at F25.0.
