The Photo Art Gallery Blog | 150 years of colour

150 years of colour

The first color photograph was unveiled 150 years ago at a lecture at the Royal Institution in London by James Clerk Maxwell, the Chair of Natural Philosphy at King's College.


The subject, a tartan ribbon, was made by projecting three different color-filtered exposures into one image using lanterns. This "three-color process" is the basis of every color photograph taken ever since.

Maxwell was a physicist and his three-color process started life as one of his many theoretical papers on the physics of light and color theory.

Appreciate your comments and your passion uclaker. Is it your impression from watching the playoffs that Dallas is defending the paint and the rim differently vs. the Lakers than they did against Portland? It would seem you'd want to use your "size" to "cover the rim" and focus on "packing the paint" against the Blazers just as much as against the Lakers given the talent. Maybe not an identical approach, but similar. 35-year old point guard Andre Miller was 15 of 21 at the rim in that series. Wing player Gerald Wallace, who's 6'7" (compared to 6'6" for Kobe) was 23 of 35 at the rim. Kobe is 0 for 1 in two games. Can't disagree that Dallas schematics is an issue here. Mentioned that in the article. Likely to be a combination of factors keeping Kobe away from the rim. I do think that Kobe's not getting to the rim is one of the main overlooked stories in media coverage. That's why I listed it first. Don't think it's illogical to suggest a domino effect of potential ramifications from that inability thus far (whether it's from his injury, Dallas schematics, and/or other influences).

Compelling write-up, amazing job. This couldn t have most certainly been written much better. Reading this review reminds me of my earlier chief executive officer! David commonly kept babbling on this subject. I am going to pass this post to him. Pretty positive he will have a very good read. Nice one for writing!

Almost all of the things you assert happens to be astonishingly accurate and that makes me wonder why I had not looked at this with this light before. This particular article really did turn the light on for me personally as far as this specific subject goes. Nonetheless at this time there is actually 1 point I am not necessarily too comfy with and whilst I attempt to reconcile that with the main theme of your position, allow me observe exactly what all the rest of your readers have to point out.Well done.
