World War 1 photos in colour
« on: January 09, 2013, 03:13:30 PM »
I saw some of these photos in a book last year and found some online. These are amazing pictures of World War 1 in striking detail. It is like looking in through a window of a different world.

Something about the contrast and depth of field a skilled photographer captures with a manual camera that the digital age fails to grasp.  Digital images are fantastic, but they don't haunt me the same way old tin types and prints do.

Nice post, Grudgie.  Thanks for sharing!  [URL=http://www.smileyvault.co

Some great pic Grudgie.

I am sure the negatives were hand painted which helps to give them such good depth of color.

To think about it; we are about a century out from the beginning of WW I.

Nice share Grudgie.

Although color photography was around prior to 1903, the Lumi?re brothers, Auguste and Louis, patented the process in 1903 and developed the first color film in 1907.  The French army was the primary source of color photos during the course of World War One.
So not hand-painted after all. Thought color film wasn't developed till after WW1. Learn something new everyday.
