Classic Chrome film recipe for X-Trans IV and V cameras, with a Kodak look for outdoor photography

Whilst I like the beach and ocean as much as the next person, I live close to one, and so for vacations I often go to the mountains. In September, I took a trip to the Tirol, a mountainous region of Austria. I prepared a number of film recipes to take on my travels, trying to predict which settings would compliment the green meadows and blue skies of the high mountains.

I was sure that at least one of my recipes should be based on Classic Chrome, and this is the one that I came up with. I feel that it uses the teal tones of Classic Chrome in a subtle way, and balances this with the green of the lush meadows and forests.

I’ve given it a whirl on some RAW files from an earlier visit to the Barcelona tennis tournament, and some of the local lanes and fields near where I live. All-in-all, I’m pleased with the recipe, giving a consistent and controlled look that is distinctly Fujifilm, but with an analog softness to the tone that also feels reminiscent of Kodak 35mm. Although designed for the mountains, it’s a go everywhere film recipe for sunny conditions.
