This STONE GARDEN recipe sits somewhere between my C-3400 and METRO ELEMENTS. They were all built with the idea of street photography in mind. This is the latest addition to my color street photography recipes.

I appreciate recipes with a vintage look to them, I’ve created some and I intend to create more but this really isn’t one of those.

I wanted some grainy texture and slight softness yet I wanted some rich color. I also wanted to have a locked in white balance so I know exactly how it’s going to react. It’s a great daytime white balance but will do well with night photography.

The recipe settings are below this gallery of photo samples.

Just like a few of my recipes, this was designed with street photography in mind. Give Stone Garden a try and let me know how it works out for you.
