The three colour glass plate technology they were using, sorry I don't know enough to actually describe it properly, could capture colours really well, but it actually had problems with black/white/greys. Similar to the way technicolor on a silver screen just leaves modern film-making for dead when it comes to getting lush colours on screen.

Look up the work of Frank Hurley, an Australian photographer who photographed Shackleton's mission, who was a pioneer in the field.

A lot of the reproductions look faded now but that's dues to the prints fading, not any problems the originals.

 

Uhmm...

This kindve sucks. I dont see any picks :pity:

 

Simply amazing. Thanks for the great find, Doc.
