You already have hi-res scans of what I presume to be all of your November & December 1967 35mm B&W negatives — IIRC they were sent to you as 160 .tif files on several CDs in September or October, 2018. There were also .jpg copies of 105 of them, including this sepia interpretation of one of my favorites:

. . . but not – I confess – the VW at the grade crossing way out in the boonies south of Durango — probably because the NGDF had not yet gotten obsessed with Horses and Cattle and Camels and Beetles and I liked this one taken at the same location a minute or so later a bit more:

If you want to post any of the .tif files that weren't also sent as (edited) .jpg files, SFAIK your image viewing software should allow you to at least save the .tifs as .jpgs for posting on the NGDF, and if it won't let you resize them first to a max of 1K wide (1024 pixels) the NGDF will do that when displaying them so long as you have saved them at a low enough resolution to meet the upload size limit.

p.s. Here's a moody sun-on-the-lens backlit one where the .tif needed a LOT of help from Photoshop Ailments* to make it at least halfway presentable — well worth the extra effort IMHO:

* I call it "Ailments" instead of "Elements" not 'cause there's anything wrong with it but because it helps cure problems.
