Wow these are actual color photos from 1909 (not some AI-gimickry)! They were made by shooting 3 seperate images with different color-filters.

[-] 14th_cylon@lemm.ee 24 points 1 year ago

autor of the photos is russian photographer sergei prokudin-gorskij, who was making color photos at the beginning of 19th century by making three different expositions to three different glass plates through three different rgb filters...

the images are absolutely breathtaking and i highly suggest to anyone who hasn't saw them already to check them. time well spent.

Sometimes I just want a simple job.

Like a flood gate supervisor, crossing guard, or bridge troll.

I don't know if you can get bridge troll nowadays but when you do, please drop a reference, I think I'll be pretty good.

I love these really old color photos! Gives a time traveler impression since we are so used to seeing it in black and white.
