Barbour Green, Deep Mood Film Recipe

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

Barbour Green

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.

Ecowarrior, Packs a Punch Outdoors

Eterna Bleach Bypass film recipe with deep contrast and nature tones

Ecowarrior

With so many film recipes available to choose between, you begin to find several that look quite similar. This deep tones look is a counter to all those soft creamy recipes designed to be a bit like Kodak Portra! Instead, this one brings a deep character, that sends shadows into inky blackness and draws attention to the highlights. I particularly enjoy using it on sunny mornings and in particulat on walks in autumn or winter woodlands.

It’s close cousin is my Vinterskog film recipe, but this one has a brown and gold, occasionally purple tone to it, where Vinterskog is more blue and green.

The base simulation for this film recipe is Eterna Bleach Bypass. I’ve discussed before how much I enjoy working with this, giving a wide range of looks, and something really quite unlike the output of any other camera brand. But, this does mean it is limited to a narrower selection of cameras. The new X100VI has it, but the popular X100V does not, for example.

If you have a camera that supports it, I really do recommend trying a number of Eterna Bleach Bypass recipes, especially in sunny conditions as autumn rolls in to the Northern hemisphere. Maybe it will become your favourite too?

Cherry Cola, Soda Pop Film Recipe

Stylish pinky bronze toned film simulation recipe for Fujifilm cameras

Cherry Cola

Here’s a tasty new style that brings a unique feel to your images. The Cherry Cola film recipe has a pink brown aesthetic that in some ways feels like an aged nostalgic look, but in others is a warm but unique look for characterful imaging. It’s for brave photographers looking to experiment, or to bring a strong look across a series of photos.

The base for this recipe is my ‘go to’ for unique styles, Eterna Bleach Bypass, which is pushed into new creative territory with unique color tone from Fluorescent 1 balance with a heart shift of +8 red and -5 blue.

There’s no escape for any colour or subject in scenes with this. They will all yield and get bathed in the pinky bronze tone. It’s a recipe to go large with and embrace the results.

This recipe works well on any camera that has the Bleach Bypass film sim, such as X-T4, X100VI or X-S20. If you want to explore a similar aesthetic, but don’t have Eterna Bleach Bypass, you might enjoy the Seventies Summer film recipe, or Sherbert Sunrise look, which both explore a pink toned style.

Here are my samples, taken with, or edited from RAWs on my X-S20 in the past few months.

Arthouse Bleach, Faded Colour Film Recipe

Eterna Bleach Bypass film recipe for cinematic tones and muted colour

Arthouse Bleach

I love a muted colour look, and this draws me to shoot with film recipes made with the Classic Chrome, Eterna Cinema and Eterna Bleach Bypass film simulations. Each of these starts with a degree of reduced saturation, and by pushing that further with a negative colour value, a paler often nostalgic look can be achieved.

For this film recipe, I started with the setting of another softer look, Arthouse Cinema, which I published alomost two years ago back in 2022. That recipe worked with the characterful tones of Eterna, and brought out teal hints in blues and mellowed the greens.

In this adaptation, the base simulation has been switched to Eterna Bleach Bypass, which brings a punchier contrast and a further step of desaturation. For me, this was a step too far from my hoped for look, so this recipe reinjects some of the lost colour for a unique teal and cream look and feel.

My personal view is that the result is a versatile film recipe that can be used in a wide range of conditions, bringing teal tones to the fore, but without it being overpowering. I’m a huge fan of this overall colour character, and am happy to consider it my new favourite Bleach Bypass recipe. I found myself using it more and more, easily taking over 100 sample images, both on X-Trans IV and later on X-Trans V.

Collodion Color, Early Film Process

Soft and muted film recipe with an antique look inspired by pioneering early print development

Collodion Color

Here’s a film recipe concept that is inspired the the pioneering photographers of the past. It looks to repreduce colours and softness seen in some of the first experiemental colour photography. It doesn’t precisely mimic any specific process, but is reminiscent of early colour through the collodion process.

To achieve the look, two divisive settings are in use. Firstly, this recipe uses a -5 clarity setting, which softens out of focus areas dramatically, but does also slow down photo saving. Secondly, the film simulation used is Eterna Bleach Bypass, which many popular Fujifillm cameras do not have, notably the X100V. If you’re in that group, you can try the alternative Collodion Negative film recipe.

On to the results, which have something of a vintage and highly analog feel to them. The saturation is low and has a shift to a warm, brownish tone, but without any sickly orange. Personally, I love how distinctive this looks, and happily use it for a wide range of images. It’s a bit like a trip back to the early days of photography, which also being modern and fun.

Retroscope, Film Recipe Time Machine

Bleach Bypass film simulation recipe for a nostalgic prints look

Retroscope

Let’s wind back the decades with this nostalgic film recipe with a strong retro feel. It differs from vintage looks by not having an especially warm tone, but still having an aged look like prints from a simpler camera from bygone days.

This film recipe is built from layers, each adding to the overall look. First up is the Eterna Bleach Bypass simulation which washes out the colour. The next layer is the colour balance, which mimics a fading image, like a print from many years ago. Lastly, negative clarity is used to soften the overall image and add a vintage look to out of focus areas.

I know that many people prefer not to use the clarity function because of the saving delay that it causes. Often, I’ll suggest using a physical filter as an option, but for Retroscope, I do recommend using negative clarity as part of the aesthetic.

Now to the results where we can see how this recipe looks. I’ve really enjoyed using it, either for a nostalgic feel like old prints, of where a muted soft look enhances the feel of the images, such as on a foggy day, or when the light is pale and soft already.

Gold Leaf, Extra Golden Golden Hour

Eterna Bleach Bypass film simulation recipe for fall color and golden sunsets

Gold Leaf

Here in the UK, the late autumn has finally delivered and we are blessed with mist, mushrooms and golden leaves. A lot of the trees are at peak colour right now, with beeches, sweet chestnuts and oaks all putting on a show.

Of course, it’s the UK, so it’s raining a lot too, but this past weekend saw a sunny break and so I took a lovely wander in the morning light. In the space of an hour, I took around 150 images, such was the abundance of golden subjects.

This gave me a chance to test out this recipe, Gold Leaf, which I had been saving for a morning just like this. It uses a strong warm shift colour tone and a +4 colour boost to bring back some saturation into the images.

It’s a recipe designed just for days like this, but by virtue of the strongly gold tone, it is also a great choice for a rich golden sky around sunrise and sunset too.

Brontosaurus, Bold Bronze Bleach Bypass

Brown and bronze toned fillm simulation recipe using Eterna Bleach Bypass

Brontosaurus

Here’s a Fujifilm film simuation recipe that’s full of creamy coffee toned bronze character. It uses Eterna Bleach Bypass for an impactful look, with a strong bronze tone colour shift. It has a big impact on the look of your photos, and so it needed a big name, like Brontosaurus.

By using Eterna Bleach Bypass, this recipe rules out older cameras, so if you don’t have this simulation on yours, take a look at Coffee Chrome for a similar look based on Classic Chrome.

For those of us, with Bleach Bypass, we can enjoy the deep contrast that it offers, along with the muted colour palette that allows for the single tone of the colour balance shift to add distinctive character.

The result is something quite unique, and of course, this won’t be a general use film recipe to use in all conditions. It feels a little like a colorised sepia recipe for old tone images, and I have great fun using it to capture a new look to familiar scenes. Give it a try, and I am sure you will have fun too.

Zodiac Pale, an Old Tone Vintage Recipe

Vintage pale tones with Eterna Bleach Bypass for X-Trans IV and V cameras

Zodiac Pale

Eterna Bleach Bypass is a film simulation that divides opinion. Personally, it’s one of my favourite simulations and a great base for building recipes from. The combination of muted tone and impactful depth makes for some really interesting looks.

In Zodiac Pale, I wanted to explore the combination of pale blues and creams that give a muted look with a strong vintage tone. This style is somewhat reminiscent of early tintype colours, being both washed out and deep contrast at the same time.

I found it works at it’s best with a blue sky, or cream/neutral tones in the image. I’m sure it would be wonderful in the sun bleached American West, in gritty urban or industrial environments, or for a unique take on the beaches of a rugged coastline. Where ever you choose to shoot, Zodiac Pale will bring the mood.
