Film Recipes for Fujifilm Cameras

Dark green film recipe with lots of mood for gloomy and bad weather days

Over recent months, a lot of my focus has been directed towards completing and publishing my Film Recipes app. Apart from all the new things I have learned about apps, data and phones during this process, I’ve also had great fun adding many new recipes into the app. As I do this development, the mood of the current season is often reflected in the film recipes, and in the middle of a UK winter, gloomy conditions and bad weather have sent me in search of new looks to make the most of the weather.

One of the recipes I created is this one, which I call Barbour Green after the deep green tone that reminds me of country outdoor clothing, and as a recipe for getting out despite the weather, it seems appropriate. It’s become a personal favourite, but does come with two important notes; make sure to underexpose, and do try it in gloomy conditions, either dull weather or twilight. That’s where this recipe really comes to life.

Barbour Green Film Recipe

• Simulation: Eterna Bleach Bypass
• Grain Effect: Weak, Small
• Colour Chrome Effect: Weak
• Colour Chrome Blue: Strong (IV) / Weak (V)
• White Balance: 5500K
• WB Shift: -4 Red, -7 Blue

• Highlights: -1.0
• Shadows: +4.0

If you wish to try and adapt this recipe for a camera without Eterna Bleach Bypass, such as X100V or X-T3, try it with Pro Neg. Std and a colour setting of -4, and blue at -4 also. The look will be quite similar, and you too can get out in dull weather and have photography fun!
