That's way cool, and it's gotta be the earliest use of the 'harris shutter technique' ever. You can see the color shift where there was movement, like in the shots with water.

I did a shot with the same type of technique a year and half ago. It wasn't anything great, but just a proof of concept that you can take 3 black and white photos with different filters and create a color image. http://365project.org/sudweeks/365/2009-02-19
