Eterna Bleach Bypass film simulation recipe for creamy tone winter photos
Here’s a recipe for creative shooting with a muted tones style which emphasises the browns and creams in your images. This makes it a great choice for beaches, winter woodlands and capturing old buildings or wooden subjects. I’ve named it Driftwood because, for me, it shares a palette with the bleached wooden pieces you find washed up on the shore.
Shooting with a recipe like this gives a unique look and feel that generates a stylised image with muted tones and deep contrast. For single images, the style is dramatic and interesting, and for a series, it generates a compelling tone across a set.
Note that this recipe uses Eterna Bleach Bypass as the base simulation, which makes it compatible with the newer Fujifilm cameras only.
