X-Recipe: Golden Brown
This recipe was created by chance and is based on Ritchie Roesch’s [Pushed CineStill 800T] (https://fujixweekly.com/2023/07/22/pushed-cinestill-800t-fujifilm-x-t5-x-trans-v-film-simulation-recipe/). When setting up the recipe in my camera, I swapped the signs of the colour settings for the white balance. Instead of red -9 and blue +5, I set red +9 and blue -5. I didn’t notice the mistake, but I was much more impressed by the photos that came out of it. The warm colouring creates a sepia-like character, but still leaves room for other colours. I only realised my mistake weeks later…
As the recipe is often used in extreme lighting situations, the value for the dynamic range should be adjusted accordingly.
Frosty Leaf - A shadow situation on a cold and clear morning (DR100).
Nebelwerk - Morning sun through dissolving veils of fog (DR200).
Sawdust - In the leaf shadow of the summer sun (DR400).
