Eterna Cinema film simulation recipe for capturing autumn fall colours and golden hour

When thinking about photographing Autumn colour / Fall color there are two likely directions you may be drawn too. The first is to look to emphasise the rich orange and reds, especially in sunshine, by using a warm tone and strong saturation. The other, is to work with the softer light and bring out a mellow atmosphere. This film recipe takes the warm color tone approach, using enhanced colour, but retains the generally cinematic balance of Eterna to prevent images from becoming overly false looking.

In this cinematic take on the autumn season I’ve taken the Eterna Cinema film simulation, one that already has a mellowness to it’s green and brown tones, and tuned it further for autumnal scenes.
