2 month project - Leaving negatives out in the open

I took these photos using 35mm of the tree that I am now going to hang the negatives on to leave out in the open to see how they are affected by the environment. I will scan these negatives in after two months of hanging in the tree. I expect the outcomes to be slightly distorted but still be able to see the original photo.

The red dot on the satellite image below shows the location of the tree which I will hang my negatives in.

Final scanned in images

It was surprising how little two months in the open in a range of weather conditions, which included frost, rain, heat and bright sunshine, had impacted on the film and the images. The images were maily intact but the main effect was the appearance of green and purple hues on the images from the scanned in negatives. Wider research suggests that it was moisture that caused the purple patches and heat exposure  the green.
