Color Photographs with Game Boy Camera

Posted by michael on from the improvise-adapt-and-overcome dept.

An anonymous submitter sends in: "For the first time, the Game Boy Camera has been used to take COLOR Photographs. It's the Game Boy Camera Color Photography Project." The previous slashdot story that this reminds you of is this one about digichromatography.

    Their methods of achieving this were fairly simple. They basically used theories about the visible spectrum (namely how it can be broken down into combinations of red green and blue).

    Here is what they did. They modified the camera so it took 3 black and white pictures with different RGB filters. Then, the three were combined for a FULL COLOR IMAGE (with the help of Photoshop). So it is really more of a Photoshop+GBC picture.

    Take a look at the three: here and then the combined image: here. It isn't great, but it is a start.

    Hopefully they'll start tinkering with the GBA to get better photographs out there.

      You forgot to mention that the GBC is sensitive to Infrared, so he also needed to filter that OUT on all three images, otherwise it doesn't work.

      ABM forgot to mention that the gameboy camera has a ccd that is infra-red sensitive

      the guy had to buy an infra-red filter to put over the ccd in combination with the rgb filters

      well played I say rather than "pah, any fool could've done that"

      All he needs now is three gameboy & camera combinations and some fancy alignment tool and he's away!

    This is like the works of Russian photographer Sergei Prokudin-Gorskii (1863-1944), as i remember from an old post in Slashdot.
