Podcasts about autochrome

Am Kontext vum European Month of Photography, kuerz EMOP, ginn zu Lëtzebuerg grad eng Hellewull Fotoexpoen op. "Rethinking Photography" ass de Mount iwwerschriwwen. Vill jonk Fotokënschtler:innen hunn dësen Defi ugeholl, andeems si vereelzt Technike mat innovative Methode fir experimentell Fotoinstallatioune mixen. D'Stater Fotothéik ass esou eng Plaz, wou fréier Fototechniken an hir Pionéier preservéiert ginn. Den Owend invitéiert d'Ekipp op eng Konferenz zum Theema "D'Autochrome vum Batty Fischer". An d'Kerstin Thalau gouf gewuer, firwat esouwuel dee Fotograf wéi och seng Aarbechtsmethod bis haut begeeschteren.

A lo largo de la historia los seres humanos han deseado capturar la realidad para inmortalizar un momento, el aspecto de una persona o el mundo que les rodea. Así nació la pintura, cuyos orígenes hay que buscarlos en el paleolítico. Pero la pintura tiene sus particularidades. Pasa por el tamiz del artista y que sea más o menos fidedigna depende de los consensos culturales de cada época y de la habilidad y el instrumental que emplee el pintor. En la pintura la imaginación juega un papel primordial, ya que se puede pintar lo que se desee. Es un modo un tanto libre de plasmar la realidad circundante y, como tal, puede estar sometido a todo tipo de alteraciones. El primer paso hacia la captura fiel del mundo exterior lo dio un químico alemán llamado Johann Heinrich Schulze a principios del siglo XVIII, en plena revolución científica. Schulze empleó una suspensión fotosensible para capturar imágenes temporales de letras, aunque sin conseguir conservarlas permanentemente. Décadas más tarde, y tras una serie de infructuosas pruebas, el británico Thomas Wedgwood intentó sin éxito fijar imágenes de manera permanente, creando fotogramas detallados pero efímeros. Schulze y Wedgwood habían conseguido la captura, pero no que ésta permaneciese. Los avances en la industria química permitieron al francés Nicéphore Niépce en 1826 fijar de forma indeleble la primera imagen captada por una cámara, aunque, eso sí, tras efectuar una exposición muy larga. Su colaboración con Louis Daguerre llevó al desarrollo del daguerrotipo en 1839, el primer método fotográfico comercialmente viable. Este proceso utilizaba una placa de plata yodada que reducía el tiempo de exposición a unos pocos minutos y ofrecía una claridad y detalle sin precedentes. Paralelamente, en Inglaterra, William Henry Fox Talbot inventó el calotipo, que permitía la creación de negativos de papel de los cuales se podían hacer múltiples copias positivas. Esto permitió abaratar el proceso y hacerlo más accesible. La competencia entre estos dos métodos iniciales impulsó más innovaciones, como el proceso de colodión en la década de 1850, que combinaba la calidad de imagen del daguerrotipo con la reproductibilidad del calotipo. La fotografía continuó evolucionando con la introducción de la película flexible por George Eastman en 1888 y su cámara Kodak, que democratizó la fotografía con un lema publicitario que decía "Usted presiona el botón, nosotros hacemos el resto". Este avance simplificó enormemente el proceso y, sobre todo, lo popularizó. A principios del siglo XX la fotografía se había convertido ya en algo muy común al alcance de prácticamente todo el mundo. Pero esas fotografías de los primeros tiempos eran en blanco y negro. Los seres humanos vemos en color por lo que aparecieron especialista en coloreado. Los químicos, entretanto, se concentraron en conseguir capturas en color, algo que consiguieron en 1907 con el proceso Autochrome de los hermanos Lumière. Las fotos en color eran costosas al principio. Hasta mediado el siglo XX no se popularizaron gracias a películas para el gran público como la Kodachrome y la Agfacolor. Esta tecnología permitió capturar y reproducir el mundo en todo su espectro cromático, expandiendo así las posibilidades artísticas y documentales de la fotografía, que para finales del siglo XX era ya omnipresente. Fue en ese momento cuando se produjo la revolución digital. Steven Sasson de Eastman Kodak creó el primer prototipo de cámara digital en 1975, dando comienzo a una transición que en unos años haría obsoletas las técnicas fotoquímicas tradicionales. La fotografía digital no solo permitió la edición y manipulación de imágenes de formas antes impensables, sino que extendió aún más la práctica, especialmente con la incorporación de cámaras en los teléfonos inteligentes y la conexión de estos a internet a principios del siglo XXI.

Why artist and curator David Sequeira doesn't believe in just a 'pop of colour'. How a colour-blind artist adapted to colours he couldn't perceive. And how glasses that allow colour-deficient people to see the full spectrum of colours, work. Plus, Daniel chats to V&A curator Catlin Langford about her book on the mania for Autochrome, an early colour photography process invented by the Lumière brothers.

  Due to all the tumult of Thanksgiving and work, Antonio and Ward are taking a small break and presenting this rerun of their popular episode called "Lost in Lartigue." Here are the show notes from the original 2019 broadcast:   In this episode, I'm joined by my buddy Ward Rosin and we do a deep dive into the photographer Jacques-Henri Lartigue.  Ward and I touch on many aspects of Lartigue's work including his love of speed and his use of one of the first color photography processes called "Autochrome." We make some interesting discoveries during our chat and I'm sure you will too as you listen to us both talk about a photographer we've admired for a long time. This is the first of what will be a regular feature on Street Shots. The idea of talking about interesting and exceptional photographers with a buddy has been something I've wanted to do on the show for a while now. Any feedback is appreciated.  Show Links: Ward Rosin's Website, Instagram feed and Facebook page.

I’m Theo Mayer - the Chief Technologist for the Commission and your host. Welcome to the show. [MUSIC] Preface Food will win the war! That was the rallying cry for Herbert Hoover… A mining engineer by training, an entrepreneur by character and a public servant by circumstance.   Herbert Hoover was in Europe in 1914 when it all hit the fan. He stepped up and helped organize the return of around 120,000 Americans who got stranded. He led 500 volunteers in distributing food, clothing, steamship tickets and cash to get the Americans home. Hoover, who would become the 31st President of the United States remarked: QUOTE: I did not realize it at the moment, but on August 3, 1914, my career was over forever. I was on the slippery road of public life."     And so It is no surprize that President Woodrow Wilson tapped the young Hoover to run his wartime food administration…   And what a challenge food production and management had become. The men who farmed put on uniforms. Armies of them needed to be fed, shiploads of food needed to be transported and in europe after 3 ½ years of devastation and fighting the populations were starving. [MUSIC] With that as an overview, let’s jump into our wayback machine and go back 100 years to the war that changed the world! World War One THEN 100 Year Ago This Week [MUSIC SOUND EFFECT TRANSITION] It’s late January 1918 - President Wilson issues a proclamation in the "Official Bulletin" - the government’s war gazette published by George Creel’s Committee on Public Information for the administration. [Sound effect] DATELINE: January 28, 1918 HEADLINE: President’s Proclamation Calls Upon People of Nation to Reduce Consumption of Wheat and Meat Products in Order to Feed America's Associates in the War Wilson’s proclamation opens with: "MANY causes have contributed to create the necessity for a more intensive effort on the part of our people to save food in order that we may supply our associates in the war with the sustenance vitally necessary to them in these days of privation and stress. The reduced productivity of Europe because of the large diversion of manpower to the war, the partial failure of harvests, and the elimination of the more distant markets for foodstuffs through the destruction of shipping places…  the burden of their subsistence very largely rests upon our shoulders. The Food Administration has formulated suggestions which, if followed, will enable us to meet this great responsibility, without any real inconvenience on our part." The proclamation goes on to explain the details and concludes with - "I, therefore, in the national interest, take the liberty of calling upon every loyal American to take fully to heart the suggestions which are being circulated by the Food Administration and of begging that they be followed. I am confident that the great body of our women' who have labored so loyally in cooperation with the Food Administration for the success of food conservation, will strengthen their efforts and will take it as a part of their burden in this period of national service to see that the above suggestions are observed throughout the land." President Woodrow Wilson Libby O’connell interview With us again today is Food historian, author and WWI Centennial Commissioner,  Dr. Libby O’Connell [Libby - thank you for taking the time to join us again --- as our go to expert on WWI and food!] [So Libby - The cry was “Food Will Win The War” and this particular program came to be known as Meatless Monday / Wheatless Wednesday - Can you give us some perspective? Was it effective?]   [Libby]   [Thank you once again for your wonderful insights - ] [So long] Dr. Libby O’Connell is former Chief Historian for the History Channel, author, food historian and US WW1 Centennial Commissioner - Follow the link in the podcast notes to learn more about Dr. O’Connell and how “Food Will Win The War!"

First: The Lafayette Escadrille - the famed squadron of American Flier who flew for the french before America entered the war are officially transferred from the French Army to the US Army and re-designated the 103rd Aero Squadron. Also the US replaces the insignia on all US planes with what is called the roundel  - an outer red ring, then a blue ring, and a white center. The Allies had requested the change out of a fear that the white star in the center of the old design might be mistaken for a German cross in the fog of battle. The roundel remains in use until the US reverts to its former markings in August of 1919.   Fine tuning the army air service 100 years ago this week for the War in the Sky.

Link: www.ww1cc.org/warinthesky America Emerges: Military Stories from WW1 This week for: America Emerges: Military Stories from WWI… Dr. Edward lengel is going to tell us about a very interesting military demonstration by US forces at New York’s Hippodrome. Let me set this up: Large numbers of troops are wrapping up their stateside training and preparing to ship out. The pace is accelerating and multiple divisions are shipping out simultaneously - most of them from the greater New York City area - logistics for  juggling railways, encampments, embarkation and debarkation facilities, ships, food, fuel and weapons is ever more challenging. But the Doughboys are pumped and gripped with excitement as they prepare to “take it to the Kaiser”. Their adventure is about to begin. This is where Ed picks up the story in New York... [ED LENGEL] Thank you Ed. Next week, Dr. Edward Lengel will tell us about the 32nd Red Arrow Division, made from the Michigan and Wisconsin National Guard. Some of the division’s first contingent drowns in the sinking of the Tuscania on February 5, but most of the Red Arrow Doughboys travel on the massive ship - the USS Leviathan, which used to be the German Ship ---Die Vaterland (the fatherland) - but as we declare war - we confiscate her in NY harbor and turned her into a massive troop ship to send doughboys to fight it’s original namesake. Kinda ironic. Dr. Edward Lengel is an American military historian, author, and our segment host for America Emerges: Military Stories from WWI.

In the summer of 2017, the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts and National Capital Planning Commission unanimously approved the conceptual design for the memorial, centered on a monumental work of bronze sculpture. Sculptor Sabin Howard then embarked on an eight-month effort to bring the memorial to life. And as we’ve heard from Sabin himself in our podcast episodes #54 and #55 --- the sculpture has evolved from his original sketches and drawings into 3D images and 3D models. Sabin’s efforts at the Weta Workshop in New Zealand culminated in late January, with creation of a sculptural maquette of the proposed design - essentially that is the sculpture at 1:6 scale. Last week you heard an audio documentary on this show as this striking model, which is around 10 and a half feet long by around 1 foot high, arrived in Washington DC last week. The maquette serves as the “first draft” of the Memorial’s sculptural design and development and is scheduled to be presented to the Commission of Fine Arts on Thursday February 15th for their review and feedback. On Friday February 16th, the maquette will be unveiled to the public for the first time on the Fox and Friends television show. Pending all regulatory agency approvals anticipated by summer 2018, the design and development of the sculpture will enter its final production phase, including casting. We actually built two of the maquettes to accommodate both public and private displays over the coming months!   Watch the unveiling on Fox and Friends next Fr iday or come to our website that weekend at ww1cc.org/memorial for a first look yourself.

Special recipes were developed to keep food tasty but also within the rules laid out in the Food Administration’s guidelines. These new wheatless, meatless and sugarless recipes that strove to keep familiar food on tables of America,  earned their own nickname - which is our Speaking WWI phrase for this week. These wartime foods and recipes were deemed to have been “Hooverized” in honor of the Food Administration's chief, Herbert Hoover. There was cake made with potato flour instead of wheat - candies made with molasses or honey instead of refined sugar, and bread using a mixture of potato, rye and corn flour. Actually Hooverized Foods sound like a very contemporary, trendy, gluten free, health food, paleo, vegan-esque diet. But I think  “Hooverized Recipes” doesn’t sound like a trendy, hip, slick, hook --- even if it IS this week’s phrase for Speaking WWI - See the podcast notes to learn more! link: https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc2.ark:/13960/t9t156s17 https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/the-meatless-wheatless-meals-of-world-war-i-america [SOUND EFFECT] Updates from the States Ohio Website Launch For updates from the states -- we’re very pleased to announce that Ohio has launched a new centennial website at ww1cc.org/ohio - all lower case!   With us is Amy Rohmiller, World War I Coordinator at the Ohio History Connection, to tell us more about the site and the WWI Centennial commemoration efforts in Ohio.

The color process used to create them is called Autochrome, and it used dyed pieces of potato starch to turn a normal black and white negative into the beautiful, velvety color photos you can see at the Slate article in the podcast links.

Kodachrome I got a Nikon camera I love to take a photograph So mama don't take my Kodachrome away -Paul Simon, 1973 https://youtu.be/8rlDTK6QI-w   History Kodachrome had a 75 year run. First developed in 1935, it was the first substantive color reversal film using the three primary colors: red, green, and blue. Kodachrome competed with glass plate negatives such as Autochrome and Dufaycolor. We learn that digital did not kill Kodachrome. In fact, the complex development process and heavy subsidies FujiFilm received from the government, and the popularity of E-6 processing made it more difficult for Kodak. The iconic film was dwindling away little, by little, starting in 1996. Ultimately, all Kodachrome production ended in June, 2009. Dwyane's Photo continued to develop Kodachrome until December 2010.

Jacques Henri Lartigue is one of the great photographers of the 20th century – known for his whimsical, action based black and white work. Many people are not as familiar with his color photography. Beautiful and engaging, it is very different than the Lartigue we’re familiar with. Book: Lartigue, Life In Color – http://amzn.to/2d4yFej Lartigue’s color photography was done during 2 different periods. The first was his use of Autochrome plates from 1911-1926. Autochrome had a specific look used by photographers such as Heinrich Kuen. Lartigue went back to color a second time in the mid 1950’s with film as by this time he was shooting 35mm with his Leica’s and 120 format with his Rolleiflex. The work from this period is absolutely wonderful and rivals many of his contemporaries doing color work at the mid-century such as Saul Leiter.

Live Performance by Autochrome

Autochrome Lumière was one of the first commercially available color processes. There were earlier processes, but Autochrome was very refined and "realistic" for the technology at the time. Using grains made of potato starch, these grains produced a 3 color space of Orange, Green and Violet to reproduce color. In the early years, Pictorialists embraced Autochrome and were fascinated by its results. But quickly, pictorialists rejected it because of its mechanica, "pre-made"l process and lack of hand control over the chemicals and techniques involved. Autochrome was produced until the 1940's, but its early years were the most interesting and prolific among photographers in the art world.

In the early 1900's, the Autochrome photographic production process utilized an additive colour process on glass plates The Autochrome procedure used coloured potato starch as a grain layer and created fantastic image results that give the impression of being a painting. Aotg.com investigates this early process through a discussion with John Wood, author of The Art of the Autochrome: The Birth of Color Photography.
