Classic Chrome film recipe with boosted colour for travel photography
Thassos 22
There are some subjects that seem to suit certain film simulations more than others. Summer travels often take in creamy beaches, blue seas and vibrant colourful scenes. Classic Negative jumps to mind, or perhaps Velvia.
However, as the seasons begin to change and the sun drops lower, a paler sunlight and more brown tones in the vegetation start to lean towards the use of Classic Chrome.
In this wonderful film recipe by Călin Stan, the sights of Thassos (a Greek island in the Aegean Sea), are beautifully captured with just small changes to the standard settings of Classic Chrome. The results were so good, that I contacted Călin, and suggested featuring Thassos 22 on the site.
