Nice! If you want an even more dramatic look, try Velvia50 :) the whites at the top would probably be a dramatic purple hue.
This is lovely though, nice lines and choice in exposure.

Yeah, I got 120 sheets of Velvia 50 in Quickloads in the freezer and 125 sheets of older Velvia 50 regular sheets I just picked up. I don't know how the sheets I just picked up are going to act though as they are very old, but freezer stored.
I haven't shot any of the Velvia 50 yet, but that will change this weekend. I am heading up to Glenwood Springs to shoot the Hanging Lake and other areas around there. The Velvia 50 Quickloads are coming along on the hikes!
Hello appletree - if you click on the photograph, it should take you through to my flickr stream.
Love the brooding intensity of this, and looking forward to seeing more. I also respect the fact that you've developed colour slide film yourself - I've always imagined this to be complex and highly dependent on rigorous temperature control, so have never attempted it.
Looks good, congrats! David, I was lucky enough to find a water pump/heater system from someone on this forum for only about $200 I think it was, which included tanks and a Kodak process thermometer. Heater/pump made by Calumet. Nice unit, works like a charm and keeps the water bath rock solid. The tanks are metal to help heat transfer. If you ever find one or something similar, go for it, it's really not difficult after you nail down the temp control, especially if you use the 3-bath kits for E-6 (or 2-bath for C-41). Freestyle sells large 5L ones for an affordable price.

Thanks.
I thought it would be hard to develop too, but all I used was a plastic tub and a thermometer. I just filled the tub with 120 degree water and put the chemical bottles in it and a gallon of water.
I then waited until the chemicals were at 105 degrees (the arista kit needs 105) and did a pre wash, then started developing.
I added a little hot water to the tub to keep the water at 105 degrees thoughout the processing.
It was a little tedious, but very easy to do without having a water bath or Jobo Processor. That being said, I would REALLY like to get a Jobo Processor one day.
A view of Valdez Valley, Taos NM looking west in early morning light. Chamonix 045 F1, Portra 160 film. A little uneven development in the sky, mea culpa.
