Eterna Bleach Bypass film recipe with a soft nostalgic look
Here’s a recipe that’s really tasty! It’s a soft and mellow film recipe, based on the Eterna Bleach Bypass film simulation. It has a warm cinnamon colour shift, and with reduced contrast and a little softness, it’s not at all overpowering. In fact, it’s a gentle recipe with a subtle cinnamon tone to the neutrals. Delicious!
Over time, I find myself coming back to this recipe again and again, and I am always impressed with how it renders all sorts of conditions from mid summer to the winter snow. It’s one of my personal favourites. You can see more of them on the Shortlist of Favourite Recipes.

Soft Cinnamon at the Laver Cup Tennis Event
The tones of Soft Cinnamon make it useful in a variety of situations, with a mellow warmth and a unique tone. I’d wanted to test it for some city photography, so I took the opportunity on a recent trip to London.

It’s always wonderful for me, as recipe creator, to see your photos taken with my recipes. Apart from the satisfaction that comes from other photographers feeling that a recipe is ‘good enough’ to be tried out, I genuinely love seeing the your images.
