Colorized naval photos - interesting site

Post by DRF99 »

I thought I would share this interesting site I came across of colorized naval photos.

http://blog.livedoor.jp/irootoko_jr/

There is a categories drop down menu on the right. Many of the photos I've seen in B/W before but seeing them colorized makes it so much easier to pick out details.

Like this famous one of the Zuiho

Really well done.

Cheers,
DRF

The colourised photo of Zuiho is fantastic by the way!!

I never thought that doing an AAR would be so time consuming and difficult.

Love it thanks!

Here is another one with quite a few, and a lot of B n W as well. Some are from real Kodachrome or other color film rather than colorized images made later.

I'll never be upset with people reposting Irootoko's colorized pics site. That guy is doing an absolutely stunning job.
