Here is a picture by this illustrious pioneer in color photography:

Notice the combination of three different pictures taken through three different colored photographic filters to achieve the color. Each small movement in either the camera or the subjects would create a "ghost" image in a bright color around the true image. In addition, the slight tilts of the camera allowed the overlay to have some slight irregularities, and create even further "ghost" images. The movement of the children, and the ghost images produced by such movement, show the passage of time in these photographs.

I attempted to imitate this photographic technique by taking three successive photographs of the same subject, then combining their different channels into one picture. This is basically the digital counterpart of G-n. Prokudin-Gorski's analog technique from a century ago.

My attempt is here:

Once again, the different "ghosted" images provide a sense of the passage of time. In addition, the grass continues to retain a semblance of its original coloration. Although I had cropped this image, if the picture had remained uncropped, it would have shown the characteristic colorful borders created by the different overlaps of overlay.
