If you are interested in photography i seriously recommend you look into the works and life of Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky

He was a pioneer of color film photography in early 20th century and created some absolute bangers

It feels so weird and out of place to see sharp high-detail color photography and think "damn that looks reasonably modern, maybe a few decades old?" and then you're like "oh shit it's imperial russia" xd

@rail A funny little consequence of the fact that he had to take each channel as a separate photograph is that anything moving ends up with an Annihilation-like colorful shimmer. Check out the water in the first picture and the smoke in the third.

@aisling @rail Could one call this rgba shift? Can one deduce the order in which the color channels images were recorded from the images? How to reproduce such an effect in digital images today?

@seepr @rail i actually did that intentionally as a kid, id take three photographs of a moving subject, like my brother playing the piano, and extract the red channel from the first, green channel from the second, blue channel from the third, then combine all three additively

@rail @seepr for extra fun: id print them out and then view them under color changing rainbow lights and now the subject is moving again
