Augustine, Relaxed Summer Film Recipe

Eteran film simulation recipe for capturing summer scenes with character

Augustine

In the strong light of summer, a relaxed film recipe that can tame the harsh light is a useful partner. In these conditions, I like to capture the warm and leisurely mood of the summer months, but I also want to be able to shoot throughout the day, rather than necessarily have to wait until the golden hour.

This film recipe, designed for August and the summer, uses that most tolerant of film simulations, Eterna Cinema. This does the hard work of taming the contrast, and to this base, I’ve added a characterful warmth, from a 1, -6 shift from the auto colour balance. To magnify this, colour is uplifted to the maximum, which for Eterna, is still soft and not distracting.

So here it the result, a welcoming and characterful summer film recipe, that makes an excellent travel companion and top choice for lazy warm afternoons and evenings.
