Doesn't the fact that the photographs were projected in colour mean that colour photography existed??

"Although color photography was around prior to 1903, the Lumière 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." http://www.worldwaronecolorphotos.co...ww_i_h_30.html

What i find fascinating is that they breed realism into a period of time that is hard to grasp. The WW1 pictures for example make it seem much more real.

If you look at Daguerrotypes from the 1870's and onwards, you'll be amazed at how sharp they could be. The main difference is that prior to the early 1900's, film was orthochromatic, which means that it wasn't sensitive towards red light, only to blue, green and UV light. This made people in portraits look gaunt.

These pictures could be amazing. Too bad the resolution they use has made them pretty much a goofy "oh look at that" website attraction.

^^^ thnx for the site, and yeah i was hoping for some high resolution shots but even the main website doesn't offer that :/
the pictures are a bit bigger than on the newsweek page http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/empire/ and theres more than 28 shots
you guys should find this particular page of interest http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/empire/making.html tells u how they took the glass negative and digitized/colourized it

These look amazing! Definitely a different feel than if they were in traditional black and white.

those people must be standing very still for him to take 3 photographs with different filters. I'm not very familiar with old cameras but I don't think u can just snap snap snap like todays i don't think.

Very cool! I didn't realize that the photo of Tolstoy that I've seen before was from that guy, or that early in the age of colour photography even.
