Description
I took this in the 70's with a Gremany file camera I had. When it broke I stop takeing photos. I had a family to take care of. Now they gone so I doing art again.
I also bought a Epson perfection 4490 photo scanner. It can scan film and slides. I find this old film and some of it was breaking down. In other words; going bad. When I scan this image off the film [for I do not have the photo any more]. I looked at it and saw the colors it have. I say "Is this the colors they had in the 1970's??? Or is it just the age of the film doing this???"
Oh this is a place called Red Dirt it in certal Louisiana part of a nation park. I hopeing to go up there after the hunting season is over. The land is so wonderful there with rolling hills and Long leaf Pine trees
Maybe I see what the colors is in 2007 on film

The problem that you describe Jocko, also meets on films of cinema. One manages to date films repeated in France, by looking at the reds and the greens which are faded towards the purple one, sometimes mauve. I think that the pigments were not stable. Today the films are often improved as well for the sound as for the colors by true artists chemists, as you have just done it! CHEER!

It has such a different look from digital. The colors are brilliant!

Interesting shot of the Louisiana turf. I have slides I took back in the late 1950s that I keep in a metal box in a cool closet, hoping to keep them from deteriorating too much. The color is still pretty good, but some slides have collected dirt from somewhere or other. I've scanned many of them, and found that most need Photoshop postwork.

It looks like the 70's. Maybe they really were this color! Things from that time tend to blur in my mind....Cool anyways!

Dear Jock, I'ts been a few years since I drove through the area, but it looks like the colors around Fort Polk, too - and Alexandria! I love the pine trees - that's one of the big attractions on living here in The Woodlands. It's a mix of oak and pine and there are a LOT of trees. When the weather gets a little better and I've got a few hours, I'm going to takes some pictures of "my forest" to show everyone!! It realyl is an "invisible city!!!" Super photo and I'm glad you got it scanned into digital format!!! Love ya!!! Meredith
