A little colour...

Recommended Posts

What a difference a little colour makes... It gives a different perspective to these well known pilots.

This is simply amazing.  Adding the colors to the old photo makes it feel more real and alive.  It's like if the picture finally 'breaths.  This  remind me of the movie project where someone attempt to bring the ancient videos back alive with the colors and smooth 60 FPS.  

New York in 1911 (Colorized, 4k, and 60 FPS)

 


Street Scenes in San Sebastián, Spain in 1913 (Colorized, 4k, and 60 FPS)

 

Tokyo in 1913 - 1915 (Colorized, 4K, and 60 FPS)

Lovely stuff Trooper and Eagle. It's amazing how a bit of modern tech colourisation and manipulation of old films/photographs can bring events of the past to life.

I recently and accidentally stumbled upon Peter Jackson's doco "They Shall Not Grow Old" on the telly. What a mind blower that was. It's like what unfolded happened yesterday. You see these guys in this horrific war larking about much like we all do here. They are guys just like us but thrust into an extraordinary conflict and making the best of it. Mostly. Fascinating stuff.

I dunno about that Mata Hari one? It looks like something out of a BBC series. Mind you, I only ever saw her naked so maybe that's it?
