Happy Valentines Day, everybody! I'd hoped to post something relevant to this special day, but eventually gave up due to lack of romantic content. So... howsabout some rescans? I know we did some just a few days ago, please complain to the management.
Back in ye olden days, ol' Major Pepperidge had a pretty crummy scanner. He (I) didn't know it at the time, being a mere babe in the woods, but some of those early scans are real dog doo. Luckily, I still have the slides, and and newer, much better scanner. See the results below!
Here's a photo of Fowler's Harbor, first posted on June 27, 2006. It's sort of interesting, with those guys frolicking at the water's edge.
Here's the new rescan, and my oh my, the difference is very apparent. For one thing all of the detail stands out, crisply defined. Color adjustments helped a lot too. As was pointed out back in 2006, you can see what appears to be wooden shapes that would eventually be covered with chicken wire, sprayed with gunite, and painted as part of the tunnel to the Indian Village.
I'd sure love to know what those fellows are up to - paddling that modern rowboat around in broad daylight seems like it would be verboten.
This next photo originally appeared on July 28th 2006, and it features a nice look at the exit area for "Snow White's Scary Adventures" (the photo itself is from October of 1969). Dad is pointing out an interesting detail for his son, who is just happy to still be alive.
The new scan is sharper, with better color, and I like the way it looks, even though the improvement is not as remarkable.
I attempted to correct the perspective on that wonderful mural; it was tricky, but kind of neat in spite of its flaws!
I hope you have enjoyed today's rescans.
