Cereal Killer, with Impactful Wheaty Tones

Eterna Bleach Bypass, tuned for shooting impactful landscape photos

Cereal Killer

I grew up in a small village in a rural area and I always enjoyed the way that farmland changed through the seasons. There was the season of baby animals, starting with the lambs, and working through pigs and cows.

As the spring turned into summer, crops would be bursting into flower and become heavy with seed. My favourites were the wheat, barley and oat fields with their change from green to gold, followed by the hot and hard work of the harvest.

I still enjoy a visit to a farm, and will often wander along field edges to photograph crops in themorning or evening light. You’ll maybe have seen images on this site from some of those walks.

For the creamy tones of summer crops and a bright blue sky with fluffy clouds, the Eterna Bleach Bypass simulation is a great choice for impactful images with a muted colour tone. This is the starting point for the Cereal KIller recipe, which is tuned to suit photography outdoors, landscapes and rural and small town scenes.

Inky Depths, Luxurious, Deep and Cool

Eterna Bleach Bypass film recipe with deep inky shadows and a striking muted look

Inky Depths

It’s no secret that I love the Eterna Bleach Bypass film simulation and have great fun making recipes with it. I have, by happy accident, built up just about the largest selection of Bleach Bypass film recipes online.

This is my latest creation, which pulls together ideas from two other recipes, Wildwood Deep and Squid Ink, but is a look that’s all it’s own. It’s particularly exciting in the golden hour and bright conditions, making a wonderfully luxurious look with deep dark tones and highlight details.

One point to note in this recipe is the underexposure recommendation. To achieve the style, you do need to either expose for highlights, or underexpose at around -2/3 on standard metering. Embrace the dark side, and enjoy the Inky Depths.

Ebb and Flow, Creamy Bleach Bypass

A cream tones Eterna Bleach Bypass film recipe for Fujifilm cameras

Ebb and Flow

In my experiments with film recipes, I keep returning to the enigmatic character of Eterna Bleach Bypass. It has a more striking base look than many of the other film simulations, and I have found it the most flexible in creating different recipes.

This recipe pulls the base sim apart, stretching and shifting it away from the standard look. It may even be so far from the usual appearance as to be almost unrecognisable as a bleach bypass at all.

The result is a soft toned, warm recipe with a cream tones look, which is wonderful in most types of sunlight. The golden hour works especially well, but most other bright or daytime conditions are well captured too. It’s closest cousin is my Soft Cinnamon recipe, but Ebb and Flow is a special look all its own.

Titanium, Muted with a Metallic Tone

Eterna Bleach Bypass film recipe with minimised saturation for a metal tone look

Titanium

One of the great things about the Eterna Bleach Bypass fim simulation is the muted low saturation tone. This adds a drama to images, and with adjustments to the colour balance, can be tuned to give a wide variety of moods.

In this recipe, the mood is a cool blue one, with a metallic tone that is almost grey in some situations, and a faded blue in others. The effect is an extreme one, changing the original scene dramatically, but it’s a powerful effect and makes for a really interesting image style.

I find it works best with bright light, or with light on the subject. It tames even the most extreme full sunlight, and has a metallic tone that removes almost all warm tones for that titanium look.

Wychwood Pale, for Walks in the Winter Woods

Eterna Bleach Bypass for a forest mood that works well in winter sunlight

Wychwood Pale

Winter is one of my favourite seasons for photography, with interesting bare natural shapes, muted colour palettes and the additional mood of frosts and low winter sunlight.

Photography in these conditions is perfectly suited to the Eterna Bleach Bypass film simulation, which embraces these characteristics in a contrasty but muted style.

I do feel that owners of older Fujifilm cameras are missing a treat here, because Bleach Bypass is so unique, but for those of us that have access to it, this recipe set-up is a favourite option for wintry walks in the woods.

As well as Bleach Bypass, this recipe uses negative clarity for a hazy effect, adding a little extra something, much like the Wychwood Hobgoblin beers, which are another favourite of mine at this time of year.

Aquamarine, Watery Blue Tones Bleach Bypass

Watery pale blue tones film simulation recipe using Eterna Bleach Bypass

Aquamarine

I’ve been having something of a run of creativity with Eterna Bleach Bypass recently, exploring all softs of colour shifts and creative angles. I’m so in love with the range of striking looks that can be created with this film simulation, I just had to share this one with you too.

I was inspired the colour of frost in pre-dawn light (often called the blue hour). There’s a pale blue green to the hue to it and a desaturated palette. In this film recipe, I’ve tried to extend this soft teal palette into a film recipe, great for watery scenes, low winter sunlight, and whenevery you want an aqua tone look.

Silver Slate, Mineral Tone Bleach Bypass

Muted tones film recipe using the Eterna Bleach Bypass simulation

Silver Slate

The winter weather in the UK has been inspiring me to wrap up warm and shoot some images in the cold and frosty conditions. This weather has a naturally muted tone with pale colours and lots of white. Working with the conditions has helped me to develop a number of Winter film recipes, including this one, which has a mineral silvery tone that reminds me of Welsh slate.

The base simulation is Eterna Bleach Bypass, available on the newer Fujifilm cameras only. It’s a strong favourite of mine and I really enjoy the striking low saturation styles that it can be nudged into making.

Citric Acid, Lemon Tone Bleach Bypass

Eterna Bleach Bypass film recipe with citrus yellow acid tones

Citric Acid

Here’s another example of why I love Eterna Bleach Bypass. There’s something about the punchy depth, mixed with pale colour, that gives a unique style that I really enjoy.

The simulation lends itself well to application of bold colour shifts to give casts and hues across a selection of images. These flavourings are less effective with other simulations, giving some new creative options for those of us with Bleach Bypass on our cameras.

In some scenes, such as those with low sun or mist, there is a look that reminds me of some video games, like Red Dead Redemption or Fallout.

Driftwood, Creamy Eterna Bleach Style

Eterna Bleach Bypass film simulation recipe for creamy tone winter photos

Driftwood

Here’s a recipe for creative shooting with a muted tones style which emphasises the browns and creams in your images. This makes it a great choice for beaches, winter woodlands and capturing old buildings or wooden subjects. I’ve named it Driftwood because, for me, it shares a palette with the bleached wooden pieces you find washed up on the shore.

Shooting with a recipe like this gives a unique look and feel that generates a stylised image with muted tones and deep contrast. For single images, the style is dramatic and interesting, and for a series, it generates a compelling tone across a set.

Note that this recipe uses Eterna Bleach Bypass as the base simulation, which makes it compatible with the newer Fujifilm cameras only.

UB40, Natural Tone Bleach Bypass

Eterna Bleach Bypass film recipe with a natural tone for landscape photography

UB40

So here we go, passing another milestone in the development of the Film Recipes site. This is recipe no. 150, and it’s a muted tone look with the characterful Eterna Bleach Bypass film simulation.

Although this simulation isn’t present on all cameras, most notably the popular X100V, I like to make recipes with it and explore the possibilities of it’s unique look. I find it gives the most variety in style of all simulations, especially as you experiment with more extreme white balance settings.

For UB40, the Underwater setting is used, with a +4 Red, 0 Blue shift. This is where the name comes from (Underwater Bypass 4 0), rather than any particular passion for the music group! And, whilst the settings sound extreme, the result is actually a natural colour balance, with the impactful tonal range of the bypass simulation.

Anyway … that’s 150 film recipes shared and development still very much ongoing. Enjoy this one, and keep an eye on the what’s new page, for the next one in the collection.
