A cream tones Eterna Bleach Bypass film recipe for Fujifilm cameras
Ebb and Flow
In my experiments with film recipes, I keep returning to the enigmatic character of Eterna Bleach Bypass. It has a more striking base look than many of the other film simulations, and I have found it the most flexible in creating different recipes.
This recipe pulls the base sim apart, stretching and shifting it away from the standard look. It may even be so far from the usual appearance as to be almost unrecognisable as a bleach bypass at all.
The result is a soft toned, warm recipe with a cream tones look, which is wonderful in most types of sunlight. The golden hour works especially well, but most other bright or daytime conditions are well captured too. It’s closest cousin is my Soft Cinnamon recipe, but Ebb and Flow is a special look all its own.
