Well of course, but what film would have been used? And what development process?

C41 was only developed in 1972 and its predecessor, C22 in the 50s, although there apparently wasn't a difference with a proprietary Kodak process already in use in 1942. Many of the nazi photos were made in the late 30s, and probably not with Kodak materials.

>>2924545

Agfa.

>In late 1936 Agfa introduced Agfacolor Neu (New Agfacolor), a pioneering color film of the general type still in use today.[2] The new Agfacolor was originally a reversal film used for making "slides", home movies and short documentaries. By 1939 it had also been adapted into a negative film and a print film for use by the German motion picture industry.

your first pic looks like a slide to me, so most probably was that neu afgacolor. which, according to the wiki, was germanys response to kodachrome.


>After the war, Agfa's former production plant at Wolfen was located in the Soviet occupation zone which was to become East Germany. For several years after the war, the Wolfen plant continued producing Agfacolor films, until in 1964 East Germany lost the licence to the Agfa brand name. From 1964 onwards, the plant was renamed into ORWO (short for Original Wolfen), producing color films under the name of ORWOcolor.

there you go. see if you can get some ORWO color, might still have some of that wwii magic.

By the way, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agfacolor mentions that Rollei and a German company named Wittner Film still manufactures 35mm Agfacolor (or, rather, cuts/slits film from larger, existing, stock), although a source is not given.

http://www.wittner-kinotechnik.de/katalog/04_filmm/kleinbild.php This one seems to be cut by the company itself, as it's in a somewhat 'home made'-looking canister without DX code. It's E6 though, so it couldn't really be Agfacolor, could it?

From the website:
>Gutmütiger Farbdiafilm mit hoher Farbsättigung, ausgezeichneter Schärfe und exakter Graubalance. Diese Emulsion wird auf einem kristallklaren Polyesterträger gegossen und ähnelt im Bildeindruck stark dem früheren Agfachrome RSX-II 200 Material. Sehr hohe Form- und Langzeitstabilität, gutmütiges Verhalten bei Verarbeitung und Entwicklung. Entwicklung (E6) im Filmpreis nicht eingeschlossen. Keine DX Codierung.

"Good-natured/benevolent (''gutmütig'' is quite a strange word I think) colour slide film with high colour saturation, excellent sharpness and exact gray balance. This emulsion was poured on a crystal clear polyester carrier and looks a lot like the Agfachrome RSX-II 200 material from the past. Very high form and duration stability, good-natured behaviour during processing and developing. Developing (E6) not included in film price."

This could very well be a lead to achieve the aesthetics of the photos I posted, altough sadly it's only in 35mm.

http://www.freestylephoto.biz/812305-Rollei-Digibase-CR200-Pro-(E-6-Process)-120-Size

Apparently this should be the same emulsion as Agfa RSX II

>>2924545
Kodachrome was introduced in 1935 and had dye transfer processes that made colors pop out more
It's a possibility

HNNNNNGGGGGG

>>2924598
No I'm in it for the comfy pre-war aesthetics. Germans didn't use Kodak because it's American, to protect their domestic photographic industry. Especially the nazis were quite fond of protectionism.

>>2924600
It's truly beautiful. I wish I could make photos like that.

>>2924598
But like earlier in the thread it was probably agfacolor neu which had the same subtractive process as Kodachrome
It could've been lumiere film as well

>>2924594
Digibase is super cheap on ebay, 3 120 rolls for $20.

btw, OP, i think new agfa film wont give you that look. itll look clean and colorful. id use very expired agfa film, or kodak vision, which has that soft pastely look (includes the blue/cyan cast if its T version). its all very desaturated ,but with high vibrancy, yellows shifted to orange, reds shifted a bit to orange too, almost no greens, unify gradations of hues so it has that technicolor quality. i think a ps/lightroom emulation of that look is pretty achievable.

Thanks, I'll try achieving it on a random photo in PS for fun. Would expired Agfa film be available you think? I found some on ebay, but I very rarely use expired film. Something that expired in 1970 couldn't be still useable, could it?

This picture is dated 1911, is that true?
Damn it looks awesome
>tfw you'll never be a photographer travelling across imperial russia

>>2924618
Yes and no.
the exposures were taken in 1911, but they weren't combined into a full color composite until like 10-15 years ago.

Also note: there is severe color-fringing on the ones from that series of running water, or a crowd of people where one person has scratched their nose.

>>2924618
Yes, they were made with a special 3-lens camera, where every lens would be colour-filtered and exposed a monochromatic image (so the ''blue lens'' would be blue and white instead of black and white etc. The three images were then laid on top of each other, creating the colour photo. >>2924619
Is right though, many early photos were never combined until much later, although the first colour photo was made all the way back in the early 1860s if I'm not mistaken

>>2924545
>aesthetic
Can we stop with this meme?

>>2924619
>but they weren't combined into a full color composite until like 10-15 years ago.
That's simply not true.

They were taken with the three filtered lenses and then projected with their corresponding wave lengths for a projected color photo. It's true that they weren't printed in color at the time (because there was no ability to do that, but they were seen in color as projections, which was the whole point.

>>2924618

>>2924794
Splitting hairs mate.

>>2924545
There is pretty much nothing about the technical side of the photos that is interesting now.

Maybe you like that ugly as fuck bokeh, but you can even have that - just shoot FF / MF and wreck the colors like they had to back then.


The events themselves were of course designed to impress and obvious succeeded. Nazis certainly knew how to parade in pomp and drama and all of it with uniforms that looked good rather than ridiculous (like so many uniforms of the time and past did)... but that has nothing much to do with the camera.

Would still look impressive enough with a modern P&S.

>>2924797
>they weren't combined into a full color composite until like 10-15 years ago.
>Splitting hairs mate.

That statement was objectively false. There's no splitting hairs. It was combined into a full color composite when it was developed. That was the entire point of it.

>>2924797
>they werent made into a web sized jpeg and posted on my favorite click bait site, therefore they didnt exist before that!

dont be such a millennial retard next time, okay.

>>2924853
No they were digitally combined, which leads me to suspect that there was some degree of restoration, be it readjustment of color levels in the digital realm to compensate for pigment losses or even just aesthetic choices.

>potentially not as the original photographer envisioned them!!!!
>possibly not an accurate representation of the technology at the time.


Anon was asking if it really was taken in 1911, I tried to make him aware that there is a chance that they have been modified.

Show me the evidence that the photos are exact reproductions of the color projections you described as would be in 1911 -- that there is no changes that may have been made to make it look more "modern.

>>2924855
>millennial retard next time,
Almost certainly the pot calling the kettle black.

>>2924790
For lack of a better word. It's not really my native language. I meant the general way it looks, the saturation, contrast, colour, sharpness/softness etc. together. If you know a better word for it in English, I'd be glad to hear it.

>>2924813
I disagree. Of course the subject(s) play a very large role, but there are many different films, many of them liked for specific 'looks', even if that look stems from a technical imperfection. From what I've learned from this thread, many of these old photos were shot on Agfa slide film, apparently praised back in the day for their vivid colours. Some colours are slightly shifted, like the nazi flags seeming somewhat more dark orange than deep red, which you could see as a technical flaw, but I think it makes the photos look more fresh.

>>2924861
> but there are many different films, many of them liked for specific 'looks', even if that look stems from a technical imperfection
You can easily get something with the same color aesthetics in digital post.

A lot of people like to do that for a while (as do the people who use smartphones with instagram and what not). And you can do it, too.

But it honestly seems to me like most hobbyists get over the novelty of compressed / strongly fudged colors eventually.

I'm almost certain I'd prefer a more neutral to slight HDR aesthetic if shooting these events again was an option..

> Some colours are slightly shifted, like the nazi flags seeming somewhat more dark orange than deep red, which you could see as a technical flaw, but I think it makes the photos look more fresh.
Honestly, if you are bored, play around a bunch with processing whole series of your photos with all those various "film profiles" that give you retro looks. Or your own color curves.

You can have this, and basically completely.

>>2924863
Yes, I'm actually doing that right now, but I like film better than digital. I don't even have a digital camera desu, though I've decided I want to buy one soon. I do PP on some of the negatives I scan, but I only scan because I can't print everything. Thanks for the advice btw, it's much appreciated.

>>2924864
> but I like film better than digital
That feeling has a pretty high chance to pass if you get a good digital camera.

Even if you theoretically like the look in the OP, it's not even like you can easily get your hand on the film and lenses used - but you can get really close rapidly on a digital camera with a comparable enough lens and color profile.

> Thanks for the advice btw, it's much appreciated.
No problem.

>>2924861
>If you know a better word for it in English, I'd be glad to hear it.

Fair enough.

Here's the deal: The word "aesthetic" is relatively vague and subjective. It doesn't really mean anything other than "I find this picture pleasing/artsy/beautiful/etc." Also, around 4chan, the word has been used so often that it's really lost all meaning and started to move into meme territory. A lot of people use is sarcastically now. It's just not a very useful term on a casual image board. If you're having a serious discussion about art or beauty or something like that, it's it's a fine term, but it just doesn't really mean anything here.

If you find something about a photo pleasing, such as the color or texture or saturation or sharpness, then simply say that.

>>2924859
>which leads me to suspect
>Almost certainly
So you're arguing with people based solely on speculation and conjecture?

>be it readjustment of color levels in the digital realm to compensate for pigment losses
Again, you clearly have no idea how this was done. There was never any pigment to these. These were black and white images which were projected with colored light.

Copied each image to a new layer. Align the layers.
Create a blank image with the same dimensions.
Copy/paste the layers to the rgb channels of the new image.

>>2925044
Yeah, that makes sense.

I just created three layers with the RGB colors. Then I used those three images to create a mask for the layers. It got pretty close, but I adjusted H/S a bit because it felt a little red, and then I did a little cure adjustment because the whole thing lacked contrast and was especially dull in the highlights.

>Der Farbumkehrfilm RSX-II. Wird heute noch von der belgischen Agfa-Gaevert als professioneller Luftbildfilm Aviphot produziert, der unter der Marke Rollei mit dem Namen Digibase verkauft wird.

It confirms Rollei Digibase is in fact rebranded Agfacolor, cut from larger professional aereal photo stock

>It confirms Rollei Digibase is in fact rebranded Agfacolor, cut from larger professional aereal photo stock

i thought that was made clear early in the thread. anyways, found in some photo forums old posts reporting digibase being yellow as fuck, because its expired, and most probably mismanaged slide film, so people be careful when buying.

>>2928127
I thought aerial film was deliberately yellow, to offset blue haze.

Kek, I hope the thread stays alive till I get them. I bought some expired rolls from Ebay yesterday, because I needed the Rapid canisters with the ISO200 thing, but coincidentally it still had some real Agfacolor in it, expired 1996. I fear it'll be absolutely worthless, but well, nothing to lose. Will report results, I'll make a new thread if this one dies. I'd expect the Rollei/Agfa to arrive this week, but before I shoot a roll full and have it developed (E6 tends to take a week here) it'll be most likely 2-3 weeks.

>>2928238
No that is rebranded Fuji. The original on which the name is based was.

Rocketry, audio tape, jet fighters and even guided missiles (to some degree). All in barely 12 years. Holocaust aside, it's astonishing what they achieved in such a short time.

I know they did that whole holocost thing but god damn they were productive

>>2933434
>did the holocaust

By the way, I'll probably receive my Agfacolor today, I'll start shooting immediately since I have the afternoon off.

>>2934551
keep us updated m8, I'm thinking of buying some based on what I've seen on flickr.

>>2933501
remember the 6 trillion.

Fuck, the mailman came and I got 2 packages, but none of them contained the film rolls. They should be here any day now. I did receive a mint condition EL-Nikkor 50mm enlarger lens, so this day is not entirely ruined.

>>2925893
looks horrible m8

>>2934735
I will, I'm hoping it arrives today, I have morning shift until 14.00h, so I can intercept the mailman just in time when he comes. He's easily startled though

Still nothing. I'm afraid it will be after the weekend, so developed photos will be next friday at its earliest, as I'm rather cautious with doing C41 at home. I'm thinking about bringing it to a specialised photo shop, as I'm not sure about how my normal lab will handle expired film. Do any of you have experience with having experienced film developed?

>implying

>>2925892
You're retarded

>>2936184
I meant expired film

>>2936383

they toss it into the machine, they dont need experience for that. maybe you should shoot a bit overexposed (if not a whole stop) to counter the aging of the film.

>>2936415
Yeah idk, I thought maybe some professional shops do hand development or something, but on second thought, that's unlikely. I'll shoot it overexposed like you recommended. The Agfachrome rolls I ordered are expired 10-20 years, so that's quite some time.

For anyone interested in war photography, this is Finnish Defence Forces' WW2 photo archive. The photos are mostly SFW, which is a bit sad actually, because it doesn't show some of the horrific crimes Russians committed.

I just wish Russians would cease to exist.

In that picture are the victims of a partisan attack. Notice that the coffins aren't very long...

Sorry but this looks like iPod touch photography

Pre-industrial Finns were usually quite short.

Historian guy here.
Not /p/ related but i need to correct this statement nevertheless. Hugo Boss wasnt existing as a fashion brand back in the day. Hugo Boss was a clothing manufacturing company for cheap mass produced uniforms. They produced uniforms for the hitler youth, the army and of course the SS... mass produced cheap uniforms for lower rank personal. And it was one company among hundreds, who could have guessed. Every higher ranking person (like in this mockup) was not issued a uniform but got it tailored specifically to his posture according to the uniform code.

Lets end this uncorrect myth of Hugo Boss designing every uniform in the third reich. He wasnt a desinger - the desing was made by the department of each specific branch.

but its a cool myth, u nerd.
