Classic Chrome film recipe with a nostalgic look inspired by 1970s summertime

Where I live, the weather is warm at the moment, and the days are hazy and long. Fans have been brought down from the loft to move air around the house, and fruit lollies are on the menu during afternoons in the garden.

This reminds me of my childhood, with summer days spent playing in the heat. I’ve been exploring this nostalgic summer vibe quite a bit recently, including with the Childhood Vacation recipe bringing a retro look like prints from this time. There’s also the Summer of ’76 recipe, and the creamy wash of Spanish Summer as additional releases inspired by the summer sunshine.

But, our wonderful cameras have even more scope for aged looks that remind us of images from previous decades. This look is one such recipe, sitting somewhere between the Vintage Kodachome and Olympus Trip 35 film recipes in style.

This recipe has aging print hints thanks to a red shift that evokes memories of old photos, and with the Classic Chrome simulation and Color Chrome effects, a nostalgic quality, that reminds me a little of magazine prints from that era. If you find the result too pink, you may prefer the Milestone film recipe or Retrochrome, but for me, there’s something special about this combination of seventies elements rolled up into one recipe.
