Warm and hazy film simulation recipe with Eterna and negative clarity
Hazy Dayz
I originally developed this recipe in the early Summer, when warm weather made the air feel heavy with humidity and a hazy look seems to magnify the mood. I’m not entirely sure why I never published the recipe back then, but I have since rediscovered it and given it a new test in other condistions.
The recipe takes the mellow tones of Eterna film simulation with a strongly nostalgic colourshift. To this I have added further softness with a misty fuzz from -4 clarity. This acts like a mist filter, so if you wish, you can use one of those instead, but this recipe is intended to be seen with the softness of negative clarity.
This recipe certainly is a mood magnifier, and is especially useful when the sun is low and ther weather warm. For dreamy Summer afternoons it is perfect, and it is especially effective in the golden hour. I also suggest one or two stops of over-exposure which will bring some highlight burn into the overall look.
