To quote from another post where I got the link from:

"Jaw-droppingly beautiful. The photographer, Sergei Mikhailovich
Prokudin-Gorskii, took 3 separate shots, with deep red, green, and blue
filters, then combined them in slide projections using the same filters.
The Library of Congress, owners of the negatives, used digital
technology (which is similar in concept) to make prints.

Amazing pictures but, because of the technique you described, they feel too colorful, too saturated - like when Dorothy enters Munchkinland.

I remember doing a Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii project in an art class in year 7.

...They only look that way because the exposure is spot on perfect.
