Still Waters Posted October 6, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Two professional colorists have combined their skills with photographs and fascination with the American Civil War to create a remarkable series of color photographs from the era. British colorist Jordan Lloyd, 27, met fellow colorist Mads Madsen, 19, from Denmark when he started posting on Madsen's subreddit 'Colorized History'. http://www.dailymail...color-time.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seaturtlehorsesnake Posted October 9, 2013 #5 Share Posted October 9, 2013 i love the idea of bringing more life to these pictures. it's odd how color makes people in the pictures seem more real, and less like historic dolls, or similar. i'd like to see this tried with some more pictures of ordinary soldiers, though. imagine living in the early days of photography, and just how remarkable even a blurry picture would have seemed.

HMS Dreadnought Posted October 9, 2013 #6 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Pictures look so much more vivid in colour, great work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafterman Posted October 9, 2013 #7 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Very cool. I never knew that Mark Twain served in the Confederate Army. When I was young I remember thinking that the world was black-and-white back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
