Color Photography

Color Photography is a form of photography that is capable of retaining color in photos. It is more advance than monochrome photography that is only able to produce shades of gray in its photos. Color Photography was first produced in 1861 by physicist, James Clerk Maxwell. Color photography paved the way for the vivid color images we have now and even movies and videos we watch on our computers everyday.

Overview

The first successful color photo was taken in 1861 when James Maxwell perfected the color separation method. The color separation method is when a photographer takes separate photos using different filters. James used a red, green, and blue filter and projected the images with their individual filters overlapping them to create the first color photo. tartan_ribbon.jpg
