Paris Gold at the Olympics
Paris Gold
I’m hyped with Olympic fever, and my current film recipe creations are themed around looks that I am hoping to use on my trip to the Summer Games. Take a look at Olympic Ace and Paris 24 for my other ideas.
For this look, I wanted to work with the creamy tones of Paris buildings, the golden light of late afternoons and the rich orange of the clay tennis courts that await me at Roland Garros. I’d given this a try once already, when a trip to Barcelona in the Spring led to the Barcelona and Pale Barca film recipes.
This time though, I’ve pushed even further into golden territory. This recipe is like a rich Kodak Portra, or perhaps a warmer Kodak Gold. It’s designed to magnify warm vibes and golden light. You might find it too strong in everyday conditions, when Kojak Gold or my Kodak Portra Daily might be more useable. Those also work on X-Trans IV cameras, where this recipe uses Nostlagic Negative which is only available on newer models.
