Those pictures were great. A couple like the Hindenburg one looked like paintings but most looked like they were taken in modern day

Good find, somebody posted some WWII ones a while back which were fantastic also.

Do they run these through some colour picking software that chooses the most likely based on light and tone or do they actually hand pick colours that please.

Is it possible to know the actual colour from the black and white images and processing methods.?

All very fascinating one of you geeks must know.

I like the everyday life ones, like the car crash and the ice girls. Real moments of the past.
