Olympic Pro, Versatile Pro Recipe

Pro Neg film simulation recipe with a versatile ‘go everywhere’ set-up for travel and trips

Earlier in the summer I took a trip to Paris to watch tennis at the Olympic Games. Regular readers will know that I’m a big fan of the sport, perhaps almost as much as I am of making film recipes. So, of course, I put the two together and took a number of new recipes with me to try out.

I’ve already shared a few of these, such as my all round high achiever, Olympic Ace for X-Trans V sensors, my Classic Negative for travel, Paris 24, and the creamy warmth of Paris Gold.

For this recipe, I wanted to compliment the others with a sophisticated and controlled look that brought a slightly flat, film like look to images. The results you’ll get are wonderfully analog and comforting, with a warm colour balance that adds just enough tone without heading into sickly territory.

Take a look at the sample images below, and then why not load up Olympic Pro into your camera and test it out on your next photo session?
