Classic negative film simulation recipe for sunsets and the golden hour
I do love to see the film recipes of other creators. As much as finding new looks, I enjoy seeing different creative processes. One such creator is Kebs Cayabyab, (YouTube channel), who has a focus on street photography, and created the Dela Rosa recipe that inspired my Rosa Negative recipe. His channel has gone quiet, but the inspiration from his recipe remains. I’ve taken the vibe and switched it up with a big boost to the style with a new colour temperature.
Rosa Negative is a recipe for the golden hour, with a striking tangerine palette that makes a family of images hang together. The result is a specialised golden hour recipe with an inspiring tone that varies from gold, through orange to red. I hope you’ll enjoy it, and will give it a try the next time you’re photographing at sunset.
This recipe works on any camera with the Classic Negative film simulation. All you need now is to wait for sunset!
