these computer colorized photos are getting incredibly high res hi def, and nearly 3d


1927 Walter Layman, who traveled with his family and his dog, photographed the States and Indian culture for National Geographic magazine

This photo is 92 years old... I doubt my Nikon dslr could do this good a job on auto settings.

  1. I think I recall reading somewhere that old style picture taking methods actualy had very high resolution. Can be totally wrong about this...

  2. I see a Cooke lens on his Graflex. Same lens that made the pictures that Hurley took for Shackleton in the Antarctica. Awesome lenses, and yes professional equipment from that era cannot be bettered even today. The outer covering on the Graflex would have been black though, not brown.
