Alchemy Cinematic, for Urban Soft Tones

Eterna film simulation recipe with urban cool tones for Fujiflim cameras

The Eterna Cinema film simulation is a wonderful choice for soft tones photography, but the green-brown tone of the base simulation doesn’t always give me the mood effect that I’m after. For something a little cooler, perhaps metallic even, I like to make adjustments.

So, for explorations in suburbia, industry parks or for a cool tone to street photography, we have Alchemy Cinematic. This recipe turns gold into steel (in colour tones at least) and works really well with stone and metal. I find it a good choice to bringing smooth metallic tones to city exploration photo walks.
