Ultraviolet, for a Pretty Purple Mood

Lavender Eterna Bleach Bypass film recipe for shooting with a pink purple tone

Here’s a very different film recipe that helps bring a lilac mood to images. It’s quite a particular sort of look, but it can be useful if you’re looking to experiment. Perhaps you are shooting floral images, like heather, lavender or cherry blossom? Or maybe some fashion shots with a difference?

Althought this, and my other film recipes with strong characteristics might not be for general use, I like to provide options and show just how many different styles we can produce with our in camera JPEGs. I actually think you can get some great images with this, especially sunsets, or flowers in bright light, but I’ll leave it out here for you to decide if the Ultraviolet film recipe is one for you…
