A dark brown toned mono recipe using Acros and strong clarity
Double Espresso
Like a shot of strong coffee, the deep dark tones in these shadows make quite a statement. If you want to produce a striking mono image, this film recipe might be a good choice for you.
To add character, the grain is strong and clarity is set high at +5. The overall look is very retro, perhaps similar to wet plate monochrome in colour, but also with an antique flatness to the image.
