Cinematic Aquarius, Soft Tones for Spring

Eterna film simulation recipe with warm soft tones for outdoor shooting

At the beginning of 2023, I released a mellow Classic negative recipe called Age of Aquarius, which was a great choice on sunny days for a softer look. For this related recipe, I’ve blended the settings from Age of Aquarius with the Eterna Cinema film simulation to bring a new soft look cinematic recipe into existence.

The result is a warm recipe with a very forgving tone curve that makes it a great choice in soft or hard light situations. The warm soft tone is also excellent for a cinematic look in the golden hour around sunrise and sunset. With an Eterna base, it works well with blues, giving lovely soft skies, and with greens, there’s a mellow tone to grasses and leaves. I’m sure it’ll be a great choice for Spring and Summer.

Lente Bok, Spring Special Velvia Recipe

Colourful Velvia film simulation recipe inspired by spring time greens

I have used a couple of beer related film recipe names on this site, such as Wychwood Pale, and Pale Ale, and for this vibrant spring recipe, I’ve chosen a name used in European beer circles for the Spring special brews. Lente Bok beers are fresh and hoppy, marking the change from winter to summer styles.

In my film recipe Lente Bok, the spirit is much the same. This is a punch Velvia film simulation recipe with bold colour and plenty of impact. If you prefer colourful photography, this is a good all round choice to try.

Classic Print, like Prints from Fujifilm Negatives

Classic Print, like Prints from Fujifilm Negatives

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

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

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.

Waldorf Warm, Cosy Tones with Astia

Waldorf Warm, Cosy Tones with Astia

In my development of the Waldorf Astia film recipe, I started with a look that was warmer than the final recipe. This is that look. I has a mellow nostalgic feel, with a rich, caramel tone in some conditions. This comes from the combination of a warm color balance, at 8600K and the built in tone of the Astia film simulation.

For a while, this recipe was simply called Waldorf, but with the two versions, it has now split into Waldorf Astia, and this one, Waldorf Warm.

Milestone, a Classic Chrome for 10,000

Milestone, a Classic Chrome for 10,000

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

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.

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

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.

Heart of Gold, for Glorious Golden Hours

Classic Negative film recipe with golden orange tones in the golden hour

Here’s a film recipe that loves the golden hour so much, that it brings the glorious golden tones to any time of day. The base film simulation is Classic Negative, and much like the Xylochrome film recipe, this one was created as an experiment that uses a sliding scale of settings, starting from a 6540K colour balance.

Depending on the conditions, this recipes brings a subtle peach tone to neutrals, or a vivid tangerine hue, which shows most often at sunset. Which you get isn’t quite as unexpected as the infinite improbablility drive, so you can relax and enjoy a relaxing warmth to any image set taken with this recipe.

Pale Ale, for Nostalgic Landscape Images

A natural colour soft tones film recipe using Pro Neg Standard for X-Trans IV

Pro Neg Standard is a film simulation that provides good colour accuracy across the spectrum, and works well for shooting portraits. I’ve made a number of film recipes with it, and enjoy the easy going character it has.

For the Pale Ale film recipe, I explored a variety of colour balance shifts, in search of a warm, slightly nostalgic but natural look that worked well with landscape subjects. After considerable experimentation and adjustment, I have settled on this shift from the Fluorescent 2 white balance base.

The result is a soft tones look, which captures the retro vibe of Fujifilm simulation shooting. It presents natural scenes in a tastefully calm way, without too much saturation or contrast, and with a warm nostalgic tint for added atmosphere.
