I've been so busy lately. I've spent a lot of time looking into early ways of producing a colour photograph. One of the basic principle that was used by the Victorians is called Trichromie, where you take individual pictures with three colour filter onto three respective black and white negatives. Then you "rebuild" the picture based on the three corresponding colours.
There is plenty of documentation online about it, so I'm only showing some of my experiments.
They are the early stages of a project I'm working on.
The Bandstand.
5x4 negatives taken with my Graflex Speedgraphic camera from WWII and its Optar lens.
Ely Cathedral.
With the same camera, but with a XIX Century Petzval lens.
The Riverside.
A boat appeared as I was taking the second picture, the yellow trail is from the boat as I took the third picture.
I hope you have enjoyed this and feel free to comment or ask me any question about the processes.
