In Pre-Soviet Russia, Pictures...take you.

On a cultural note...

There is a new entry to my blog that spotlights the work of Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii, a Russian photographer that created color photographic images of Russia...30 years before George Eastman would make his Kodachrome color film available.

The images are absolutely stunning.

They're very nice shots, Carol. Then you factor in the era and the 'impressed' factor just escalates .

Those are gorgeous pictures. Given your description of the process (multiple negatives with red, green, and blue), I suspect that the 3-D effect comes from the recombination, especially in the first picture, where much of the foreground is very dark - similar to how those cheap 3-D glasses work. Thanks so much for sharing!
