This picture was taken 100 years ago! #big_picture
Photography buffs must check out The Big Picture today. They've posted a collection of color photographs taken in southern and central Russia between 1909 and 1912. Yes, you read that right – color photographs taken 100 years ago. The photographer used a specialized camera to capture three black and white images in fairly quick succession, using red, green and blue filters, allowing them to later be recombined and projected with filtered lanterns to show near true color images. Amazing stuff. Hard to believe that you're looking at images that were taken before the Russian Revolution.
