Advanced Member michalis Posted November 7, 2010 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 these are brilliant photos indeed. Its interesting to search for the technique he used. One for sure, kodak had film of this color quality in the '70s not earlier. But we had to wait for digital photography (Ps) to be able to compose the information this crazy russian captured. Amazing indeed, the 'time machine' . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor Tony Nemo Posted November 7, 2010 Contributor Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Striking when you consider how long a pose was needed for capture. Sitting through three (RGB) exposures, a smile would fade and perhaps there was little to smile about. I wonder why there was not more use of this technique.

Advanced Member michalis Posted November 7, 2010 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Yes exactly, but smiling wasn't in fashion these days, you can see it to other european or US photos. In any case this is a true RGB information from 1910. We should stop this smiling in photos. There isn't any reason at all to smile all the time. Even after a 100 years. Its a photo, a picture. There're more reasons to laugh though. All the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philnolan3d Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 I noticed they have some trouble with the color on things that move, like the water. I suppose this is due to the long exposure times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member michalis Posted November 7, 2010 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 But of course it was Frency Pilou who helped me to dig this. You posted some interesting links about the technique in SCF forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philnolan3d Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Another one Ah yes I've seen this one before. I think it's a lot nicer if you click the link and see the images side by side instead of flickering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contributor Tony Nemo Posted November 8, 2010 Contributor Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Me and two mates hired a geisha in Nagasaki in 1955. The Inn was by itself on a cliff overlooking the town which was on either side of a fjord like body of water. She or the house charged $7 an hour and she had a dozen other girls to fetch sake and treats. The geisha was most imposing with white rice makeup and black lipstick that was also used to blacken her teeth. She played the samisen, danced and introduced us to a game in which rice paper was stretched over a cup with a brass coin on it's surface. Using a burning punk or cigarette to burn minute holes in the paper would ultimately dump the coin in the cup. She never lost. We blew more that evening than our companion and translator made in a month as a ship yard welder. Sailors on liberty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member michalis Posted November 8, 2010 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 You know tony nemo, I thought I was too old for these forums.
