Classic Negative film recipe with golden orange tones in the golden hour
Heart of Gold
Here’s a film recipe that loves the golden hour so much, that it brings the glorious golden tones to any time of day. The base film simulation is Classic Negative, and much like the Xylochrome film recipe, this one was created as an experiment that uses a sliding scale of settings, starting from a 6540K colour balance.
Depending on the conditions, this recipes brings a subtle peach tone to neutrals, or a vivid tangerine hue, which shows most often at sunset. Which you get isn’t quite as unexpected as the infinite improbablility drive, so you can relax and enjoy a relaxing warmth to any image set taken with this recipe.
