Colourized Warship Photos

[BCRenown]

Hi All,  

Sadly I do not speak the German language but, I do hope some of you are able to understand English. Spee saw some of my colourized warship photos at www.bismarck-class.dk and asked me to present them here. I hope to do some Kriegsmarine warship photos soon. Enjoy:

HMS Tiger 1925


HMS Repulse 1928


HMS Barham 1938


HMS York 1930s


HMS Renown 1942 (my favourite warship)


Original black and white Renown photo


USS Louisville 1945


USS Pennsylvania 1920s


Best Regards,

Welcome aboard, BCRenown
But, is it a france flag on the Turret B of the HMS Renown in Malta

The pictures are very nice, but I belief, the Renown was a little bit more black and not so much in green. Please change the green into a Colour like Sand in a desert.
I have a Picture in the Book of Alan Raven/John Roberts : The British Battleships of the World War II.

@Mario,

this isn't the french flag. During the spanish civil war, the ships of the control group used their flag-colours as national insignias, like the red tops of the main turrets on "Admiral Scheer" or "Tirpitz" in WWII.
"Deutschland" and "Admiral Scheer" wear in spanish waters black-white-red stripes on the main turrets.

I think, the green is right. I have some camouflage paintings of "Renown" and the camo is green, not desert.

Hello BCRenown ,

@all,

besitzt einer von euch gute Fotos von deutschen Schiffen (oder anderer Nationen) ohne die bekannten Copyright-Probleme? Dann könnte man  BCRenown fragen, ob er diese colorieren möchte/kann. Was denkt ihr?

Hello BCRenown

Very nice pictures!!! Welcome aboard

@Spee
Wie sieht es denn mit den Copyrights bei den alten Ansichts und Postkarten aus? Die zeigen Schiffe manchmal in ungeahnter Detailgenauigkeit.
Das wäre doch ne gute Grundlage oder?

[BCRenown]

Thank you so much for your warm welcome and your kind remarks about my photos. I appreciate it very much.

Here is the Yamato colourization for Lutscha. I am sorry it did not turn out perfectly but, high quality photos are need to do real good work. Enjoy:

Yamato 1941


Keep well,
Monty

[Lutscha]

Thank you very much!!!  :mrgreen:

Unfortunately there are no high quality photos of both ships.

@chrischnix,

die kann man nehmen denke ich, denn nach 50-60 Jahren dürfte es kaum noch Fragen zum Copyright geben. Teilweise existieren die Verlage garnicht mehr.

Whow! Respect! Respect!

One would like to have a dive straight from HMS Barham's Forecastle into the warm and cosy Mediterranean ...
and HMS Renown in her camouflage dress is wonderful!

That is well done indeed! Hmm ... all the little details like the colours of the supply boats alongside HMS Tiger.

Well – let's search for some fine Kriegsmarine Pictures!  


So many thanks for sharing your little works of art with us!

@Spee

das Naval History Center der Amerikaner ist eine gute Quelle. Sie schreiben selbst, dass die Fotos frei verwendet werden können (dort kommen auch die Photos meiner Seite her). Auf Anfrage schicken sie per Mail auch größere Bilder (bis Originalvergrößerung). Hier solltest du aber ab und zu reinschauen, wenn du ein bestimmtes Bild suchst. Anscheinend werden die Bilder in bestimmten Zyklen freigegeben.

Großer Nachteil dieser Seite - zu 70 Prozent amerikanische Schiffe - dafür aber auch echt seltene Aufnahmen von 18xx.
