Land Rover, for Outdoor Adventures

Muted tones Pro Neg Standard film simulation recipe for outdoor photography

Here’s a hard working film recipe that is flexible and natural, responding well in bright, shady and golden hour conditions. It has a soft muted tone character, which produces a sophisticated image with a film like feel.

The base for this film recipe is the Pro Neg Standard film simulation, which despite its portrait origins, is a versatile choice for a softer look in natural settings. I’ve used it a lot in outdoor themed film recipes, and with this look, I’ve found another new way to present it.

The contrast is soft with similarities to Eterna, but there is a different character to the greens and creams with this recipe. I found the colours felt similar to those you might find in English country fashions, such as you might come across at a county show or horse riding meet-up. Or, perhaps, think of agricultural greens, like you’d find on an old style Land Rover, rather than the shiny new ones.

Regardless of all that, this recipe is right at home in the countryside, in woodlands and all manner of outdoor settings. It’s a cousin to other nature friendly film recipes such as Aged Kodak Portra, Wigan Pier, Explorer’s Cinematic, or Natural Standard.

Soft rural greens and muted tones are all part of the Land Rover film recipe
