Technicolor Dream, Vibrant Fantasy Tones

Film simulation recipe with a colourful purple tone and hazy softness

Technicolor Dream

Here’s a trippy film recipe with a bright and colourful look that’s beautiful at sunset and a blast of crazy purple haze at other times. It’s vibrant and fun, and could be a great choice for capturing a party atmosphere.

In my testing, I found that the effect on natural scenes was certainly fun to see, giving a soft purple cast to some images. It really came to life when shooting towards the light, and as the day moved into the golden hour. For scens around this time, a striking and rich tone was captured.

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.

Quartz 400, Pocket Camera Instant Film

An instant film recipe with an expired look, for X-Trans IV cameras

Quartz 400

Here’s an interesting film recipe for exploring the instant film aesthetic that just goes to show what’s possible with film simulations in our Fujifilm cameras. This recipe brings together a quartz pink tinted analog look with the imperfections of low-cost instant photography. It reminds me of Instamatic or Polaroid films, or pocket cameras of decades past when prints were developed by a budget lab.

The recipe is based on Classic Negative, manipulated with colour balance shifts and minimal saturation. I love the look this produces especially when used in bright light, and shooting towards the light for a heavy blast of lens flare. I’d imagine it would be a fun recipe to sty for a stylised fashion shoot, or a 70s theme party, or whenever you want to try an expired instant film look.

Dawnstar, for a Golden Sunrise Mood

Classic Negative film simulation recipe with rich colour in golden hour

Dawnstar

Here’s a warm and cosy film simulation recipe to bring extra colour to golden hour. Sunrises and sunsets are made more orange, and golden hour is extended with warm rich tone that especially likes any cream, red or brown in an image.

As for the name, ‘Dawnstar’ is a location in the game Skyrim, and although the Jorrvaskr film recipe was directly inspired by the graphic style of the game, this one takes just the name.

I wanted to take the idea of a recipe for this time of day, and maximise the effects possible from our Fujifilm X-Series cameras. The base simulation is Classic Negative, so on older cameras you can try with Provia or use Velvia with colour at +1 rather than +4.

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.

Uranium Glow, Radioactive Alien Green Look

Extreme film simulation recipe for glowing irradiated green photos

Uranium Glow

I recently created the Copper film recipe with orange tones in golden hour. Shortly after, Marcel Fraij released Pale Platinum film recipe (scroll to no. 10) with muted cool muted tones. We got to chatting about which other metals should have a recipe, and somewhat jokingly, we decided the Uranium would be a fun challenge.

So, complete with bright green colour shift and a hazy glow around highlights, here is Uranium Glow. It’s a recipe for fun, for extreme styling and for making greens almost radioactive in their intensity. I’m sure it could be fun in unusual settings, like streets under artificial light, or just when you want something different. Have fun with it 💚

Vinterskog, Deep Tones Forest Recipe

Bleach bypass film recipe inspired by the Swedish forest photos of Catrine Sandberg

Vinterskog

I really love misty moody photography, and would probably be happy if there was fog almost every morning. I love how scenery fades away and colours are obscured by the pale mist.

A photographer who make the most of these conditions is Catrine Sandberg whose magically moody images from Swedish forests I follow on Instagram.

She shoots and edits in a variety of atmospheric styles, but her blue-green toned deep images are my favourites.

This is just one example, and it is the look that I have sought to recreate with the Vinterskog film recipe.

To achieve this look, I have used Eterna Bleach Bypass, which is a truly amazing base simulation with lots of flexibility to create styles that just can’t be achieved with Classic Chrome or Negative. So, unfortunately, this recipe will be limited to those of you with the newer generations of cameras.

But … and this is a good ‘but’ … if you have an older camera, without Bleach Bypass, I have also made Vinterkrom, where I have tried to recreate this look using Classic Chrome.

Dreamland, Warm and Cosy Like a Dream

Warm and hazy film recipe for a dream like look with strong colour

Dreamland

Here’s a film recipe with a feel good factor. The Dreamland film recipe brings a rich and warm tone to your images with a hazy softness like a remembered dream. It’s one of my more extreme film recipes with a high saturation and bold look.

At the heart of the look is Classic Negative, which is set at 5,500k with a 5, -5 additional shift into toasty warm territory. The softness comes from negative clarity, which you can also achieve with a cinebloom or mist filter.

This recipe prefers bright light or golden hour, giving somewhat treacle tones in dull conditions. However, if you like that, then consider it a bonus!
