Nostalgic, soft tone and vintage film recipes using Fujifilm film simulations
Old West, Inspired by Western Movies
X-Trans IV Eterna film recipe for a cinematic style look like the Old West
I used to travel to the Western USA for work, and thinking back, there were so many amazing landscapes and scenes I would have enjoyed photographing with my Fujifilm camera. So, although I’m not there in person nowadays, I’ve made this recipe with the Old West in mind.
The recipe is based on Eterna for a cinematic feel, and uses a nostalgic warm colour shift to evoke the dusty Western feel. Heavy grain is in use too for another layer of ageing, giving a soft toned grainy image, a bit like older images from the American West.
Perfect for far reaching prairie views, Old West film recipe
