X100v Classic Negative film recipe for beautiful blues and whites
Pastel Vibes
The beautiful Greek island of Santorini is a photography paradise, with its characteristic white and blue buildings and far reaching ocean views. This colour palette has been masterfully captured by Willow Rotter on his X100V using his film recipe, Pastel Vibes.
Willow’s photographic style is towards ‘high key’ with images typically over exposed by +1. In this recipe, a -2 setting for highlights helps to preserve detail and give a wonderfully bright and airy image. He also says, that if you want the highlights to be a little red use R: 0, rather than R: -1. Some of the photos was R: 0 & some are R: -1.
