[www.keralites.net] Color Postcards That Show 1890s Scotland in All Its Beauty

 

Stunning Photocroms of Scotland From the 1890s!

These stunning postcards of Scotland during the end of the 19th century were produced by the Detroit Publishing Company using the Photchrom process, a technique used to apply vibrant and surprisingly realistic color to black and white images.

The process, invented in the 1880s by an employee of a Swiss printing company, involves coating lithographic limestone tablets with a light sensitive emulsion and exposing them to light under a photo negative. For each tint that was used in the final color composite, an additional litho stone is created.

The process was very time-consuming and required painstaking attention to detail, but the result was color postcards which captured the cities, moors, and ruined castles of Scotland with an impressive degree of verisimilitude, particularly during a time when color photography was just being developed.

[www.keralites.net] Parties For Squirrels

 

This Woman Throws Miniature Parties For Squirrels Who Come To Visit Her

One morning, Ashly Deskins found two injured squirrels in her yard, who had most likely fallen from their nest. She and her husband rushed them to the vet's, but it was too late. They didn't make it, but the incident was enough to spark Ashly's interest in squirrels.

As she started to observe their daily life, the California-based photographer came up with a brilliant idea – to set staged backgrounds for the squirrels. "It started with just some little props and eventually led to me buying flooring to create more detailed images," Deskins said. "By observing the squirrels, I can determine what they feel comfortable jumping on… and what I can or can't use."

She added: "I will usually set up a scene and it could be hours before any visitors come by… it can take several more hours before I can accomplish some finished images as they usually come, take their almonds and run."

Still, we think Deskins did a brilliant job. The squirrels are able to attend Super Bowl parties, grab a bite from a food truck, and even vote for the US president.
