Eterna Bleach Bypass film simulation recipe for fall color and golden sunsets
Here in the UK, the late autumn has finally delivered and we are blessed with mist, mushrooms and golden leaves. A lot of the trees are at peak colour right now, with beeches, sweet chestnuts and oaks all putting on a show.
Of course, it’s the UK, so it’s raining a lot too, but this past weekend saw a sunny break and so I took a lovely wander in the morning light. In the space of an hour, I took around 150 images, such was the abundance of golden subjects.
This gave me a chance to test out this recipe, Gold Leaf, which I had been saving for a morning just like this. It uses a strong warm shift colour tone and a +4 colour boost to bring back some saturation into the images.
It’s a recipe designed just for days like this, but by virtue of the strongly gold tone, it is also a great choice for a rich golden sky around sunrise and sunset too.
