Classic Negative film recipe with a bronze colour tone
I’ve created well over 200 film recipes now, and it’s understandable that some are visually similar to others. There are after all only a modest number of film simulations, and a reasonably narrow range of white balance and colour shift combinations that produce usable results. Every now and again though, I manage to come up with a recipe with a look that is all its own.
Bronze Age is such a recipe, with a noticably bronze tone colour shift that both warms and adds character to images. The look is nostalgic I suppose, but isn’t really vintage. I think it suits golden hour especially well, and generally bright conditions. It’s a strong effect, but still retains enough natural tone to be useful across a wide range of subjects.
So, Bronze Age is something different, something to try when you lack inspiration, or when you want to give a fresh look to your images that you haven’t tried before. Here are the recipe details, and as always, a range of my sample images to show you how I used the recipe.
