A Versatile Classic Chrome film simulation recipe for street and general photography
It’s great to be able to share a second recipe by Tobias Gruber. I loved his seasonal Winter Magic recipe, which brought snowy scenes to life. But, like any recipe for snow and ice, it’s something a little bit specialist.
Well, for this recipe, Tobias has developed a variation of Classic Chrome that is extremely usable and adaptable to a wide variety of sistuations.
In his own words, Tobias says, “I’ve been looking for a while for a recipe for myself that meets the following criteria:
- a touch of retro
- (halfway) natural colors
- subtle highlights and slightly heavier shadows
- it shouldn’t be too warm or cold
- no colors that are too flat or overdone
- and of course it should work all around if possible
This recipe works perfectly for me personally and I would like to present it to you today.”
