UB40, Natural Tone Bleach Bypass

UB40, Natural Tone Bleach Bypass

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

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.

Mellow Magic, the Relaxed Natural Recipe

Eterna based film recipe with a relaxed and mellow natural look

I love the Eterna film simulation for the cinematic feel, but even more, I love the tone, with a mellow warmth that adds a relaxed and calming character to images.

For this film recipe, I wanted to capture this character, but escape from the low contrast of the unedited sim, and to add a little extra vibrancy to make the recipe more flexible in a wide range of situations.

I do think I’ve achieved this, and Mellow Magic can bring a relaxed but natural looking image for all sorts of subjects. For me, I’ve really found it happy for nature and landscape shots, and especially in woodlands and forests.

The one limitation that may pop up, is that Mellow Magic is set at a fixed color temperature, so indoor shots and night city shots may have an unusual cast.

Uranium Glow, Radioactive Alien Green Look

Uranium Glow, Radioactive Alien Green Look

Extreme film simulation recipe for glowing irradiated green photos

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 💚

Jorrvaskr, from the Wilds of Skyrim

A Skyrim inspired film simulation recipe using Pro Neg Std as a base

Sometimes when inspiration strikes me, I start work on a film recipe with a particular result in mind. This was one of those occasions.

I was looking through my old PS4 games, and had a nostalgic wander around the forests and valleys of Skyrim. There’s a specific tone to the imagery and graphics, and as a long time fan, I started to think about recreating it as a film recipe.

In the game, (here’s a clip if you’ve never seen it), there is a mix of forest, tundra and mountains with much of the area covered in snow.

For my recipe, I found that Pro Neg Standard was the closest match to the tone of the game graphics, but needed a little warming and shadow adjustment. Obviously, this is somethng of a novelty idea, but I found that the end result was really well suited to photography of natural scenes, and this included wintry images like the frosted ferns you see below the recipe info.

Vinterkrom, Classic Chrome for Wintertime

Winter film recipe based on Classic Chrome for cinematic cool on the X100V

A few days ago, I published the Vinterskog film recipe, bringing moody cinematic teal blue tones to winter and autumn scenes. I’m super excited about how the recipe came out, and just love shooting with it.

However, Vinterskog is based upon Eterna Bleach Bypass, which is not available on many popular Fujifilm cameras, including the all star X100V. So, I wanted to see if I could get close to the same look using a more widely available film simulation.

Classic Chrome to the rescue. Here’s my adaptation of the cool cinematic tones of the misty winter forests, rebuilt using this favourite film simulation.

Vinterskog

Vinterskog, Deep Tones Forest Recipe

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

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.

Afternoon Delight, When it’s Right, it’s Right

Everything’s a little clearer in the light of day, an afternoon film recipe

I was rewatching Anchorman for the umpteenth time, and I was reminded that I’d not yet written up my recipe page for Afternoon Delight. I’d made this Classic Negative recipe back in the early summer, looking for a great partner in the long afternoons and evenings.

I have several warm Classic Negative film recipes already, and for this one, I wanted a natural balance for maximum flexibility. Something unique, but not as warm as Goldeneye or as rich as Grizzly Bear.

It’s a very usable recipe, working well in sunny or cloudy conditions, and in the golden hour. So, despite it’s summer origins, it’s an all-year recipe.

It’s also the fourth in my occasional series of recipes named like song titles, joining Ruby Tuesday, Parklife and Karmachroma.

Chromium 44, a Muted Classic Chrome

Chromium 44, a Muted Classic Chrome

A film simulation recipe with Classic Chrome on X-Trans IV cameras

Sometimes, what you need is a simple Classic Chrome recipe that isn’t overstyled, and doesn’t shout for attention because of the tone or hue. An everyday film recipe that just looks good.

That was what was in my mind when creating Chromium 44. It’s based on the Classic Chrome film simulation, and has a medium warm tone from a Daylight balance with a 4, -4 shift. Other than that, there are slightly softer highlights and reduced saturation to produce soft and smooth images.

The tone is warm, but still natural, and is particularly suited to the paler light in the winter, or when you don’t want an overly vibrant result.

A slight nostalgic haze has been added with a -2 clarity setting, which softens things a touch more. You can always skip that setting of course, but I hope that you’ll enjoy the results. This soft tone recipe doesn’t demand attention, letting your photos do the talking.
