The earliest color photographs

Did you know the first successful color photographs were made in the 1860s using a process called Autochrome? It’s fascinating to think about how far we’ve come since then, especially when you consider the limitations they had compared to today’s tech. Anyone else fascinated by the early days of photography?

It’s wild how much we take for granted today; I love experimenting with color grading in post-processing to mimic the richness of those old techniques. Have you ever tried recreating a vintage look in your own photography?
