Film Recipes with a Nostalgic Look
One of the reasons I decided to shoot with Fujifilm was the nostalgic film simulations and the ability to further tune these to give a wide variety of nostalgic looks. I love photos with warm colour tones and lifted shadows, and so this is one of the larger categories of film recipe on this site.
Join the fun! The Film Recipes Facebook Group is a great place to chat film recipes, or share photos you’ve taken with the recipes. The Karmachroma challenge is on. Shoot with Karmachroma and share by Sun, Oct 2nd. Everyone is welcome to share photos from around the world. A selection will be added to the site. Let’s go!
