Winter Magic, designed by Tobias Gruber

A Clasic Negative film recipe for winter time, created by Tobias Gruber

Here’s a wonderful guest recipe, devised by Tobias Gruber, a member of our photographer community on the Film Recipes Facebook Group.

He took a trip into the snowy forests, with his X-S10 camera, equiped with a Fujinon 23mm f1.4 lens. The film recipe used was such a success, that Tobias shared the results in the group and named it Winter Magic.

I’m so pleased to be able to share this with you here, along with a selection of Tobias’ photos that show off the winter friendly aesthetic of his recipe. I love the balance of Classic Negative tones with a neutrality that doesn’t overpower the scene. I know that you’ll love it too.
