Title: Rare WWI photos iscovered inside antique camera
Post by: DREDIOCK on January 13, 2013, 02:55:56 AM
"Last week, Anton Orlov of the Photo Palace blog was cleaning the Jumelle Belllieni stereoscopic camera that he'd bought at an antique store a few days prior, and found the images completely by accident. According to his blog, he opened the film chamber and saw the negatives on a stack of glass plates.

"While viewing the images in their negative form it was difficult to say for sure what was on each of them, but after scanning them it became clear that they dated back to the First World War and were taken somewhere in France," Orlov wrote"

Oh the decline in technology. 3D images that last over 100 years... current technology fails at that.

Depends on what you mean with "lasts". That photo is not the same quality as it was a hundred years ago. If you put a digital bitmap image on a flash drive you could probably recover it after a hundred years with similar or less data decay. You'd start to get bit errors after about ten years, but like in that photo, those errors will only show as dots and scratches.
