Muted tones film recipe using the Eterna Bleach Bypass simulation
Silver Slate
The winter weather in the UK has been inspiring me to wrap up warm and shoot some images in the cold and frosty conditions. This weather has a naturally muted tone with pale colours and lots of white. Working with the conditions has helped me to develop a number of Winter film recipes, including this one, which has a mineral silvery tone that reminds me of Welsh slate.
The base simulation is Eterna Bleach Bypass, available on the newer Fujifilm cameras only. It’s a strong favourite of mine and I really enjoy the striking low saturation styles that it can be nudged into making.
