| First Sunset by Adolf Miethe |
This is possibly the first sunset photographed in colour! It was taken by Adolf Miethe in 1903. Adolf Miethe was an important figure in early photography, co- inventing the magnesium flash and the first colour camera, that combined 3 negative plates to make the final print.The same camera that was used by
Sergei Prokudin-Gorsky to photograph 19th century Russia.

| The original negatives |
The 3 original negatives are being
auctioned in Germany on the 25th of this month with a starting bid of 100 euros. I love this photo and could look at it for hours. I wonder what the final auction price will be?
