IKnowU Posted August 28, 2010 Author Posted August 28, 2010 how is this possible?:omg: Colour film wasn't available back then. I think it only became commonly available in the 1960s. As the posted article said, He used a specialized camera to capture three black and white images in fairly quick succession, using red, green and blue filters, allowing them to later be recombined and projected with filtered lanterns to show near true color images.

IKnowU Posted August 29, 2010 Author Posted August 29, 2010 Notice how air is so clean and pristine. Some of things we forgo when living in 2010. Seeing these gives me a chilling feeling. i am looking at myself in 400 years. I thank the taker, the publisher and the owner of these pictures for sharing them. They are distant but at the same time we share something which is the experiencing of life'
