Colour photos taken in Russia 100 years ago

OSiriS

I came across this article. The photos are fantastic. You wouldn't think they were a century old.

That link brought me to an attack site

From what I got to see, they were good pics

I agree with Tallon, after hitting the 1st link after a few mins some spam sites started opening and this is using the latest FF and that initially blocked some.
From the story and the 2 pics I seen they did look very interesting.

Creamy Goodness

nothing wrong with them here.

/pats trusty mac and smells his own fart.

on topic the subject matter of the photos ain't great in my opinion but the russians were well ahead of their rivals.

Do you know what an attack site is?

I'd do a check for spyware if I were you, the links are fine.

lol half got the attacks half didn't.
and b4 people start boasting about their system is well protected I'm glad mine showed up, rather them out in the open then lurking in the background and me not knowing!

Fajitas!

No attacks from'em here

Some interested photos alright.

Tallon

I'm going to facepalm this whole thread!

But bringing it back on topic, the 3 pictures I got to see were good. The russian did have some fine cameras back in the day

I had a basic sys scan like I do every morning, decided to do a Adware scan now too.

So which one is an attack site???? I clicked on newsweek for just a sec and before it opened saw Tallons post so closed it. Just want to be sure system isnt in danger not sure how well protected it is!

AnimalRights

Mycroft H

I stumbled across the main site OP listed, years back, I love them, it is like time travel.

Phew! That was close! The world nearly ended for a second there.

I've removed the offending link now. I'm sorry if it caused some of you trouble. It's surprising to get that from newsweek's site. Guess my noscript addon is good for something

Well I got forwarded to a strange anti virus web site - not a pretty site.

Closing down for now.

EDIT - Went to remove the link but the OP had already gotten it.

/reopened.

I've done a couple of these, shot on neopan 400 (B&W film) with alternate red/green/blue filters and then composited. They actually turn out pretty well if you can align them properly.






note these are all of static subjects

There was some other technique around the same time that involved dyed granules of potato starch being rolled onto a glass plate and shot through onto B&W emulsion. When the resulting plate was projected a colour image was seen (again through the potato starch).
