Re: Friday Photography Blog #19 (none / 1)

Those have a look of underexposed Ektachromes.

I could have made the colors more natural with photoshop, but I thought I should present them as exhibited.

No, no... It was more about what film could have been used in 1944 !
And maybe about restoration techniques :-)

I love the look of those pics. Don't photoshop!

The dark blue tint does reflect the bizarreness of the period, No?

Re: Friday Photography Blog #19 (none / 0)

I do think I don't remember this blue tint was a strong on the projected photos - that maybe was caused by photographing a projection...

Re: Friday Photography Blog #19 (4.00 / 2)

I'm going to post the rest of the photos that I took next week; 4 during the occupation, one of the liberation, and 4 just after the war. The first 5 all have a bluish tint, which might indicate that only a certain kind of film (agfa?) was available during the war.

Re: Friday Photography Blog #19 (4.00 / 2)

No doubt Agfa, I don't see who would have been using Kodacolor in occupied France. There are some photos here by a wartime photographer who says (and you can see them) the photos he took on Agfa film were bluish.

Re: Friday Photography Blog #19 (4.00 / 2)

Lep: good idea, I would like to see those !
afew: I agree but then Agfa changed a lot after the war !

The trouble in typing slowly is that the answers are already there when you manage to post !!!

Re: Friday Photography Blog #19 (none / 0)

I don't know if you saw the photo blogs from the previous two weeks. I posted about 17 photos of Paris from 1907 to 1920.

Re: Friday Photography Blog #19 (4.00 / 2)

Should have been Agfacolor or Kodacolor in those times or Kodachrome or again Ektachrome as those were around for some time...
Ekta has a blue dominance while the three others were inspired by the Lumière's Autochrome and had (and still have for some) a magenta tint !

I was just wondering what sort of film one could get in Paris in 1944... I would think it to be Agfacolor and the blue being a restoration density artefact !

Re: Friday Photography Blog #19 (4.00 / 2)

Well... To linca and you... And also to myself, maybe also to afew who overexposed one picture to decipher the billboards..! :-)

While B&W chemicals were easy to find, color negatives or slides would have been quite a problem to get right in those times (unless you belonged to some propaganda staff or military photographer)!

Just musing around !

Re: Friday Photography Blog #19 (4.00 / 2)

The exhibition explained there were two sets of color photographs from the Paris Occupation ; a French photographer working for the French collaborationist press, who also shot the Paris liberation and got his professional card revoked after the war, and a German technician who was fond of photographing women ;)
