二战老照片---柯达胶片记录的历史-超级军网

In 1942, soon after the United States entered World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued an executive order creating the Office of War Information (OWI). The new agency was tasked with releasing war news, promoting patriotic activities, and providing news outlets with audio, film, and photos of the government's war efforts. Between 1939 and 1944, the OWI and the Farm Security Administration made thousands of photographs, approximately 1,600 of them in color. In the early war years, OWI photographers Alfred Palmer and Howard Hollem produced some exceptional Kodachrome transparencies depicting military preparedness, factory operations, and women in the work force. While most of the scenes were posed, the subjects were the real thing -- soldiers and workers preparing for a long fight. Gathered here are some of these color images from Palmer and Hollem, complete with original captions from 1942. Also be sure to see these archival movies in our new Video Channel. All of the FSA/OWI photos are available from the Library of Congress.

胶片不错！就是摆拍的痕迹太重。比起一些战地摄影失去了真实性。

真清晰啊！几乎没有岁月的痕迹！

不错的摆拍照片。。。

可惜啊柯达都快完蛋了...

好图，完全看不出岁月的痕迹

已经完蛋破产了。。话说柯达在历史的长河中留下了浓重的一笔光辉。。。可惜战略出现了严重的问题。。。

唉....

生产的胶片纪录了历史自己也成为历史了...

不过给NASA生产相关部件的部门应该没事吧....

老美的光学器件不都是柯达的么?

估计民用部门肯定是完蛋了

话说民用一旦完蛋了，影响力就没基本有了。至少在地球上。市场份额寥寥无几。。军用的只能维持一小部分人不被失业。。

很难得见到那么清晰，色彩如此鲜艳的老照片。顶～

感觉柯达是给自己玩死的，
想起当年那个双镜头的数码相机。

柯达真可惜

还是彩色的呢，图少了点。

你是说V570吗，现在还在用，说实话，当年拿在手里还是蛮拉风的。
