The Soldier

Continuing to look back at some older images that may not have seen the light of day on PU. This one has been processed in Photoshop to simulate the look of "ordinary" film. This goes back to the early days of film, where "ordinary" film was only sensitive to blue light. The followed "orthochromatic" film, sensitive to blue and green. Finally we had "panchromatic" film, sensitive to blue, green and red light. So to emulate the look of early images, either a bit of Photoshopping or using a blue filter over the lens will do the trick. The latter is essential when using early film cameras, such as box cameras, otherwise they will fail to focus some colours of light and produce blurred images.
