Color Photography - Photographic Processes Series - Chapter 11 of 12

PLEASE NOTE, AN UPDATED VERSION OF THIS VIDEO IS AVAILABLE ON OUR CHANNEL.
Photography’s earliest practitioners dreamed of finding a method for reproducing the world around them in color. Some 19th century photographers experimented with chemical formulations aimed at producing color images by direct exposure, while others applied paints and powders to the surfaces of monochrome prints. Vigorous experimentation led to several early color processes, some of which were even patented, but the methods were often impractical, cumbersome and unreliable. This chapter explores early additive color processes as well as later subtractive processes like chromogenic color and the Kodachrome.
This project is made possible by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services, grant number MA-10-13-0194.

fun fact, if you peel apart the layers of a broken lcd screen you can salvage the sheet of glass with the rgb filter on it, place it onto a sheet of panchromatic black and white film and get a colour photograph.

Totally enjoyed this video, am fascinated with the early days of colour photography and love the early methods used. I myself shoot vintage film as a hobby and have shot a couple of Lumiere Alticolor autochrome roll films from 1956 and B&W developed them as colour negatives, the emulsion has badly degraded but the colour came out great. I have also shot and processed Kodacolor and Ektachrome and Ektacolor films from the 40s-60s era with varying degrees of success cross processing them in C-41.

DON'T TAKE MY KODACHROME AWAY!

The blue sensitivity of old film stock caused problems for Stan Laurel during close-ups because he had blue eyes, some good examples of this occur in "The Second Hundred Years"

[@JordanHauserDigital]

Impressive work!

[@MezeiEugen]

Even with only blue sensitive film you can reproduce clouds and they have. They were not so dumb as to not know the effect of a yellow filter, especially as it was usual to put one on to the lens even if for another reason, being you can focus more precisely when looking trough a yellow filter.

pity Kodak abandoned Kodachrome then E6 slide film. Thankfully I was part of the Kodachrome era and exposed miles of 16mm k25, nothing will ever surpass a Kodachrome 25 or Kodachrome II image. So sad Kodak has lost its way, there is still a market for an E6 film. especially in the 8mm, super 8 and 16mm format.

[@igaluitchannel6644]

Yes, it lost its way.

[@mikafoxx2717]

They do make new Ektachrome nowadays

[@oldschoolcollodion]

You’re so amazing Osterman

[@GabrielMisfire]

I can't live well knowing I'll never shoot Kodachrome...

[@mikafoxx2717]

Kodak makes new Kodachrome, e100.

[@GabrielMisfire]

@@mikafoxx2717 not quite, that's the new Ektachrome, which is fairly similar, but not really. That's also an E6 slide film, the K14 process for Kodachrome has been discontinued and the chemicals just aren't available anymore...

i found an old book copyright 1954
and its of van gogh prints,
ultimately, they are color photographs
now i am here watching this
also, the paper and quality of the prints are amazing
so i have to learn more

[@MezeiEugen]

No, they are not color photographs. That is raster printing.

[@Klaa_Akaar]

Its amazingg

[@weiminsong9536]

Once it's gone it's gone

[@hastinmy]

yes

[@bodgertime]

4:30. 2 Leopolds. Or the Leos

[@jermaphobic8308]

Pp

[@lucutes2936]

How come someone is still using these lol

[@DarkAngelEU]

It isn't gone forever, Ferrania just started up again and Polaroid is back as well (Impossible film). Why are people so overromantic about colour film? Most of it is garbage anyway

[@MezeiEugen]

Yepp, we saw what has become of that.
