masterrig 1 #3 November 10, 2013 Though nicely done, I tend to prefer the original black and white photos. I thought it was wrong of Ted Turner to 'colorize' some of the old black and white films. I especially like the old sepia photos. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
turtlespeed 226 #4 November 10, 2013 I noticed it brought more humanity to most of the people, and made me hold more sympathy for their plight and situation. I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

turtlespeed 226 #8 November 10, 2013 shropshire WOW Here are some from our Civil War. There is one where a teenager is pictured and the caption says he was killed 1 year after the photo because he was hit by a cannonball. The B&W of that just isn't as moving.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,537 #9 November 10, 2013 They are amazing, and I can see their appeal. But after looking at the American Civil War ones (Turtle linked), where some of the daguerrotypes were "cleaned up" by having wipe marks etc. taken out, I wonder where we cross over into "improving" them (as we "improve" models in magazines).

Thanks - maybe because we're used to seeing colour photos now, I really like them and also think that it be=rings the subject 'to life'. (.)Y(.)

shropshire 0 #11 November 10, 2013 Yeap, I hear what you're saying Wendy and I s'pose it's a bit like digitising old 'gramophone' records... I'm not sure that they has to be a line... provided you reveal what changes were made and have the original for comparison. (.)Y(.)

Wendy P. "Touching up" pics is nothing new they have been doing it almost as long as photography has been around.. Embellishments, omissions, dodging and burning repainting. I see this as more of the same. neither good nor bad.You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing?

MikeJD 0 #20 November 13, 2013 Interesting! I'd seen the original monochrome photo of Lewis Powell before, and thought that it could easily have been taken a century later - he looks like a modern movie star. The colourisation just adds to that impression. As regards how valid this technique is, I guess these versions are no less 'artificial' than the original photos - after all, we don't see in black and white. Presumably whoever's done the retouching has researched the proper shades for the uniforms and stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
