Film Recipes for Fujifilm Cameras

Nostalgic, soft tone and vintage film recipes using Fujifilm film simulations

Alpine Sun, like Summer in the Mountains

Classic Negative film simulation recipe with a strong character for an alpine look

When I imagine alpine views, I think of lush greens and deep blue skies, perhaps with a scattering of wild flowers and charming log built houses. This film recipe attempts to bring that vibe to your photos, even if, like me, you live close to sea level and a long way from any mountains.

To get the effect, you need a bright day, and ideally some greenery too. It can also help to shoot into the light, or to include strong lighting in the image.

It’s fair to say that this is something of a specialist film recipe, with a strong character that makes it quite dependent on the conditions and subject. But, for an apline look in your own local area, it can be fun to bring a bit of Switzerland to your images.
