A topic very close to my heart.
In earlier less experienced years I sought to preserve our 35mm slides, the most precious collection of pictures and memories gathered during a year of overseas travel through the Middle East and Africa. I had waited for years before an affordable scanning solution became available. Unfortunately I scanned the images at an inferior resolution, that I thought at the time would fit the bill. We lost all the slides in a house fire about a year ago. 300 sildes preloaded into round projection cartridges. We placed the gluey mess of melted plastic, and smoke destroyed celuloid in a corner of the garage to weep over ever now and again. Lesson 1 - Scan at MAXIMUM resolution. Lesson 2 - Don't empty ash trays into rubbish bins.
Nice pic
 Love how the left side is really dark so on the pbase background, looks like the boy is floating off to the right.
Matt, you have really perplexed me with this photo:
The first time I looked at it, a decided to pass on it without comment, I came back a second time, same thoughts. The third time, well bugger it I have to say something as it really captures me: At a guess it was taken in the mid to late 70's. I originally didn't want to say anything because the last 25 years have not been kind to the film, however despite the grain and washed out colours I find it a very compelling image. It belongs in a book of quintessential 1970's images..... If I'm alone in a forest and my wife is not around to hear what I say, am I still wrong ??
I love it Matt - looks like a certain purchase was well worthwhile

Mid eighties. I have PP'd the image and faded the colours a bit. It was quite a grubby slide. Chris Am loving what it can do for me. One thing is for sure...I now appreciate the image quality of the D70 a great deal more. Film can be so gritty. And it ages very poorly...regardless of how well you store it. Regards
