Astia film simulation for summer fresh images, created by Darren Urda
Bright Daze
Here’s a bright and soft film recipe that brings a citrus freshness to summer scenes. It’s been created by one of our talented challenge photographers, Darren Urda. You can see his wonderful images of Australia in many of our user gallery collections.
For this look, Darren has pushed Astia into new creative territory with two stops of overexposure and a warm colour balance that really brings out the yellow and green, from the land of yellow and green.
I was keen to try it too, so at the bottom of the page after Darren’s excellent images, you’ll find a few that I’ve made with this exciting summer look.
