I thought about that, Kenny. I just shoot so little of it, I don't want the chems to go bad before I shoot it. However, I may need to start shooting more, what with ektachrome coming back.
A valid concern, Jon. I've found the E6 kits to not last as long if they just sit. Having said that, I've gotten as many as 35 4X5 positives from one kit. Something to think about.
Edward and Kenny, you all are bad influences, lol! Edward, that provia looks so sweet, I want to go burn a few rolls that are in my freezer. Kenny, you are pushing me towards E6 developing. I already do c41 and B&W at home, might as well start with something else!

Love the mountains, Jon, and your take on them. FYI, E6 is no harder to do at home than C41 or B&W. Taking those positives outa the tank is magical.

This first one I stitched about 5 images so I could get an accurate picture without all the distortion of a superwide. So hard to capture these big trees. First is General Grant, 2nd larges living thing on earth (the largest is down the road in Sequoia NP).
I can't bring myself to shoot film very much. Took me 4 months to get through this roll, and 2 months to get it developed. Crazy I put film on this pedestal - but that is how I shoot digital even.
Anyways, here is a shot taken in early May. Contax RX, 35-70 and Velvia 50.
