100 yr old color phototographs

A bit off forum topic.
But since a lot of us are photographers or work with them, thought this might be interesting if you haven't seen them yet.

HDR is how they do that right?
My Sony A900 shoots bracketed photos for doing this. I have not given it a try yet.

The A900 seem really nice. I have an old KM5D and I'm eagerly waiting for the street price of the 850 or 550 here in ridicoulusly expensive sweden.
The inhous bracketing "HDR" in DSLRs is for getting a better dynamic range (good for architecural photographe where shadows/highlight often cause problems) and to my knowledge these overly HRD-processed photos need a software.

The russian photos were really nice. Nothing beats authentic documents.
