Film Recipes for Fujifilm Cameras

Eterna Cinema film simulation recipe with copper orange colour tones

In some areas Autumn has peaked and the leaves have fallen, but here in the UK, we are mid way through with some trees golden, some bare and some still to let go of the last of their summer green.

So, having been inspired to create yet another Autumn recipe, I wanted to get this up onto the site as soon as possible, so you can all see it and give it a try on your local scenery.

The recipe is based on the Eterna Cinematic film simulation, which has a mellow tone to greens and browns as a starting point. With a healthy push into warm colour balance and adjustments to the tone curve and saturation, it gives gloriously rich autumn tone. If you like to experiment, this recipe also gives a gorgeous look to evening skies as the light fades, so it can be a fun recipe to carry into the longer dark evenings.

Copper After Sunset

As mentioned in the intro, Copper film recipe gives a mellow toned sky look after sundown, and is a great partner to low light explorations in the autumn and winter evenings.
