Tri-colour photography

Okay, I admit that it has taken a while. I hope I haven't kept many of you in suspense. Inspired by those 100 year old colour photographs of the Russian empire, I decided to try the same technique myself. This is my first attempt - shot on Ilford FP4 with a Canon T70 and Canon FD 50mm f1.8. I gave specific instructions to the lab that did the scanning of the negatives but it looks like a lot of the time, they didn't follow my instructions so I'll have to get the rest of them rescanned. Hopefully, it won't take too long to post the others.



For those who are unfamiliar with the technique, I made three exposures on black and white negative film with red, green and blue filters. After scanning, I combined the three images together with Adobe Photoshop to produce a single colour image.
