Creamy and nostalgic Eterna film recipe for warm vacation memories
Holiday Romance
In the film recipe community, there are a number of stand out creators that develop and share recipes in their own style. One such creator is Captn Look, who favours extreme settings, warm colour tones, and on occasion, the use of an FLD filter. I find his work inspiring, but for my personal photography, I often prefer to tone down the settings, keeping the spirit of his recipes, in a softer version.
For this summer vacation themed film recipe, I was inspired by Street Romance, a retro toned street photography recipe. I love the look on his site, but it just wasn’t quite working for me. So using his recipe as a base, I adjusted and softened the extremes, but kept the Eterna simulation and the colour balance choice.
So, from Street Romance we now have Holiday Romance, a warm themed Eterna film recipe, with lots of suntan tone and nostalgic feel. It’s just right for adding lots of atmosphere to vacation photos, or for a creamy golden style in the first and last hours of light in the day.
