Film simulation recipe using Pro Neg Standard for forest and woodland vibes

I love walking in forests and woodlands and take a lot of my photos in amongst the trees. I wanted to make a recipe that brought out the greens of the forest in a mellow and nostalgic look. I also wanted to recognise that it’s not always sunny, and when it’s a bit wet or gloomy, the forest is a great place to walk.

The base for this recipe is Pro Neg Standard, a simulation that Fujifilm suggest we use for portrait photography. That may well be a good use, but I have been drawn to the limestone grey green tone of neutrals and wanted to build on this for a forest look.

The resulting tone is soft and muted with a retro nostalgic feel, and there is a green character that runs throughout. It loves the woods in all seasons and all weathers, working well with pale creams, browns and oranges as well as its main feature, green tones.

I have a page of suggestions for film recipes for forests and woodlands, but this is the first that I have made specifically with this in mind.
