Honestly, even those in the link are impressive to me. Just think of where technology was at that point in time, and what ingenuity it took to create pictures of this quality.
- vhf 14y agoI wouldn't call it "technology". It's more of a successful experiment than technology, to me. Color separation cameras came two decades after, and this was really a technology : making one camera capture at the same time 3 pictures on negative. (Where those very impressive pictures shown in the link are taken using the color separation process but without a color separation camera, and not on negative.)

- knowtheory 14y agoI don't think the distinction you have made is valid. Experiments are a kind of technology by any common definition. Just because this never rolled out into mass production doesn't mean that it wasn't a systematic application of scientific/engineering principles.
- 001sky 14y agoAu Contraire. Its not clear <you> are able to distinguish technique from technology. And even if so, how much proportional impact is technique vs. technology. And even then, and in this case in particular, ex-post-facto how much technology and/or technique have been applied to put these images online.
- jsilence 14y agoYes. I'm also really impressed with the pictures. We have come a lone way in only three to four generations. My personal contribution to humanity so far: zero. Standing on the shoulders of giants...
