Eterna film simulation recipe with warm soft tones for outdoor shooting
Cinematic Aquarius
At the beginning of 2023, I released a mellow Classic negative recipe called Age of Aquarius, which was a great choice on sunny days for a softer look. For this related recipe, I’ve blended the settings from Age of Aquarius with the Eterna Cinema film simulation to bring a new soft look cinematic recipe into existence.
The result is a warm recipe with a very forgving tone curve that makes it a great choice in soft or hard light situations. The warm soft tone is also excellent for a cinematic look in the golden hour around sunrise and sunset. With an Eterna base, it works well with blues, giving lovely soft skies, and with greens, there’s a mellow tone to grasses and leaves. I’m sure it’ll be a great choice for Spring and Summer.
