X-Trans IV or V film recipe based on aged Aerocolor 125 aerial film
Kodak Aero Lomo
A short while ago I was reading a discussion about a discontinued film, Aerocolor 125. it seems that there isn’t a film recipe available for this film at the moment, so I wanted to give it a try.
When googling for samples I found quite a number of olive green toned images taken in a lomography style with expired film stock. This is the look that I’ve tried to replicate in this film recipe, which I call Aerocolor Lomo.
The base colour tone is an aged yellow green using Eterna as the simulation. This tint shows up strongly in scenes with trees and other greenery. If some conditions, this can be overpowering (e.g. without other colours in the images), but when shooting a more mixed scene, the effect is closer to the examples I saw.
In December, 2022, I revisited this recipe and took some shots in a snowy country lane, and fell in love with the recipe all over again.
