Classic Chrome film simulation recipe with grey green colour balance
Quicklime
As a fan of film recipes, I enjoy looking at photos shared by others and seeing how they use recipes in different situations.
On this occasion, Roberto Foroni posted an atmospheric image through a cafe window in a film recipe Facebook group.
I loved the look of this one in particular, but of course, the glass was part of the effect. So, I set to work trying to make a recipe that could create that look and feel in general outdoor conditions.
Neutrals have a slightly grey green cast, which leads to the Quicklime name. It’s a tone I see in indoor photography quite often, but I found I really enjoyed it for my photo walks in woods and forests too.
