Endor, with Greens from Another World

Pro Neg film simulation recipe for green scenes and nature walks

Endor

I love walking in nature with my camera, and have now made several green friendly recipes and film recipes to use in woodlands and forests.

A number of the built-in film simulations work well with green tones, with Eterna giving a mellow look, Classic Negative a striking cool tone and Astia a bright fresh tone. For something in the middle, with a soft and natural green, the Pro Neg simulations are the place to go.

For this green themed recipe, Pro Neg Standard is the base sim, with adjustments to colour balance for warmth and to shadow for pleasant contrast. In addition, to bring out the details, clarity is set to +2.

This combination works well in sunny woodlands and with greens in more shady or cloudy conditions. It’s a great choice for any nature photo walk, either in your local forest, or when out looking for Ewoks on the Forest Moon of Endor.

Bright Daze, Astia Summer Fresh

Astia film simulation for summer fresh images, created by Darren Urda

Bright Daze

Here’s a bright and soft film recipe that brings a citrus freshness to summer scenes. It’s been created by one of our talented challenge photographers, Darren Urda. You can see his wonderful images of Australia in many of our user gallery collections.

For this look, Darren has pushed Astia into new creative territory with two stops of overexposure and a warm colour balance that really brings out the yellow and green, from the land of yellow and green.

I was keen to try it too, so at the bottom of the page after Darren’s excellent images, you’ll find a few that I’ve made with this exciting summer look.

Classic Print, like Prints from Fujifilm Negatives

Print style photo looks with this Fujifilm recipe for X-Trans 4 cameras

Classic Print

Here’s a pretty film recipe that’s great for capturing a wide variety of scenes, and brings the look of printed photos from Fujifillm 35mm film. It’s based on Classic Negative, with a few small adjustments to give it a slightly softer look for all round general use. There’s a definite hint of classic Fujifilm stock to this one, and it reminds me of packets of prints that you got back from photo labs in the days before digital.

This recipe is great for sunshine, but still delivers great results if things turn a bit more cloudy. Although it is warm toned overall, Classic Neg gives a slightly cool tint to vegetation, and is really wonderful with any reds you can track down. See if you can find brick walls, red painted gates and doors, old post boxes and telephone boxes, or classic cars.

Fujicolor Gold, a Warm Film Like Style

Film simulation recipe with a hybrid Kodak Gold – Fuji Gold look

Fujicolor Gold

A little warmth can add to the mood of a photo, bringing out a cosy feel and making magic hour shots even more magical. That’s the spirit of this warm toned film recipe, that shoots a Fuicolor look in the spirit of Kodak Gold film.

The Fujicolor Gold recipe brings together the Classic Negative base, that suits a Fujicolor film look so well, with the warmth and soft tone of a Kodak Gold look for X-Trans IV cameras.

The warmth isn’t overpowering, and in part this is kept in check by my intention for this recipe to be shot one or two stops overexposed, +1/3 or +2/3.

With all of this coming together, the soft tones and mid amount of warmth, means that this recipe can be used anytime. It will deliver for you in a wide range of conditions.

However, the golden hour is when this recipe really comes to life, so do try it when the sun is low in the sky, either in the mornings or evenings, to enjoy the ‘gold’ of Fujicolor Gold as it was intended.

Milestone, a Classic Chrome for 10,000

A Classic Chrome film silmulation recipe with a 10,000K colour temperature base

Milestone

It doesn’t seem long ago that I was feeling happy that 100 people had joined the Film Recipes Facebook Group and wondering if that was about as far as it would go. Well, we just passed through 10,000 members, and it’s still growing.

I started the group as a way to share the new film recipes that I added to this site, and as a place for film recipe fans to come together and ask questions and show their sample images. Bringing people together, the group is also the main place that people join in the Film Recipes challenge, that runs every couple of weeks. Details for this are in the panel below.

For this recipe, I thought it would be a fun challenge to see if I could make an everyday film recipe from the extreme 10,000K color temperature at the top of the scale in my camera. This is a very warm setting, and is almost tangerine orange without some taming, so it’s paired with heavy a correctional shift that brings it back to something more normal.

The result is a Classic Chrome with a warm toned mellow look, that is in part nostalgic and part film like. I think the look sits somewhere on the Kodak spectrum, sitting between Kodachrome and Kodak Portra. I’m really pleased with how it came out and happy to share it as a little celebration recipe as we pass the milestone of 10k members.

Explorer’s Cinematic, Mellow Eterna for Nature

Eterna cinematic film simulation recipe for a mellow nostalgic look to nature photos

Explorers Cinematic

This is a film simulation recipe that brings together several of my favourite elements into one place. There’s a cinematic feel, a mellow tone and a nostalgic look all rolled up into one.

The secret is of course the Fujifilm film simulation, which for this recipe is the Eterna/Cinema simulation. Eterna, with its movie origins, has a cinematic feel and a built in mellowness that adds emphasis to greens and browns. These mellow tones are maximised with the addition of the Color Chrome effect and a warm colour balance at 5800K color temperature.

The end result is a fabulous choice in woodlands and forests, or when you are shooting natural landscapes in the great outdoors. It’s a recipe for the explorer in us … something to take with us on adventures.

Soft Acros, a Cinematic Mono Recipe

Softened tone curve film recipe using Acros for sophisticated mono shots

Soft Acros

If you enjoy soft tones in your colour photography and want to continue your style into mono, then Soft Acros is for you. With a forgiving tone curve and gentle grain, this is a soft and sophisticated mono recipe for a calm style of monochrome photography.

In this recipe, shadows are lifted to keep the overall quality of the image soft, and to preserve shadow details. You’ll also notice the hint of a tone to the images, with the WC setting used to give a subtle newsprint look.

Waldorf Astia, New American Color

Astia film simulation recipe for X Trans IV cameras to create a New American Color look

Waldorf Astia

Development of this Astia film simulation recipe for Fujifilm X Trans IV cameras, has passed through a several iterations, scrapping and restarting the look. I knew from the off that I wanted to capture the filmic palette of the New American Color style, with slightly rusty reds and a subtle pale cream-green wash to bright neutrals.

I’d also been inspired by the tremendous New American Color film recipe by Øyvind Nordhagen, and knew that working with Astia simulation was the likely route to success. Our recipes are different, bringing separate elements of the style to the fore. You may enjoy both for different situations, but I hope you’ll have fun trying them out.

As for the Waldorf name, I wanted something with an American ring to it, and ideally something to incorporate Astia in there too. So, inspired by the historic landmark Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York, I settled on Waldorf Astia for this New American look.

You can see many more samples with Waldorf Astia in the user gallery from the Film Recipes Challenge. Take a look.

Eternal Love, a Celebration of Eterna Cinema

Cinematic Eterna film recipe with a warm soft tone for outdoor photography

Eternal Love

As a landscape photographer with a passion for softer tones and atmospheric looks, I am a firm fan of the Eterna/Cinema film simulation. For this film recipe, I wanted to take everything that I enjoyed about Eterna and max it out.

This Eterna recipe is a celebration of the warm soft look and cinematic feel of Eterna, that lovels going on photowalks, especially in woodlands and forests, and when light is warmer at the beginning and end of the day.

Flatpack, Matte 35mm Film Recipe

Fujifilm simulation film recipe for a flat tone matte look like Kodak 35mm prints

Flatpack

This film recipe began life as an attempt to match a look I had seen with 35mm film photos taken on Kodak film. I had really liked the low contrast matte look, and wanted to be able to shoot with something similar on my Fujifilm camera.

Whilst this recipe does capture the flat look and colour tones I had seen, it was very specific to a single set of samples I had seen. So, rather than name it after the Kodak film stock, I decided to tweak it some more and embrace the flat matte look.

What we have then, is a general Kodak film-like look, reminiscent of some 35mm photography, with a muted tone and soft, matte like feel.

The base simulation is Classic Chrome, with a color chrome effect and small shift from the shade/cloudy colour balance. Shadows and highlights are both compressed to the -2 setting.

Like all the film recipes on this site, it was designed for recent X-Trans IV cameras, but with the exception of color chrome blue, this recipe is widely compatible with easy adaptation for older cameras too.
