Browsing Wikipedia, I found an amazing photo of a church with 24 domes, looking at the details it was burnt down in 1963 but the photo was taken in 1908! His process used three images taken through separate filters, but as a result they are amazingly sharp and colourful when reconstructed from digitally the original negatives, which were secured by the US Library of Congress(!)

Great find, and a great image, Neil yes

Of course, the best colour work is still done by combining three [or more] monochrome exposures.

P.S. For more jolly photo fun ... Have a look for Edwin Land's experiments with two clours.

My son using his sinar large format camera has made some great colour prints by this method.On long exposures the coulours shimmer.

With apologies for double-posting, yesterday ... Here is a brief note about Land's experiments **LINK** , and another, here.

It's rather off Neil's topic, but hopefully of interest to the same group.
