“PATINA PASTEL”

UPDATE JULY 2023:

For those who haven’t heard, I’ve set up a print shop on Darkroom. I’m running some promotions right now. The first being all prints are 20% off. The second is the first 50 people to purchase a print from my print shop will receive a second free smaller print mailed out by me. So you if you purchase a 8×10 you’ll get a free 4×6 and if you purchase a 16×20 you’ll receive a free 8×10. A few people have taken advantage of this offer but there is still plenty left. Check out the printshop here – craigbergonzoni.darkroom.com

BASE FILM SIMULATION: Classic Chrome
DYNAMIC RANGE: DR200

WHITE BALANCE: AUTO WB
WB SHIFT: R 2, B -5
NOISE REDUCTION: -4
SHARPENING: 1
GRAIN EFFECT: {OFF}

This is my latest recipe based on Classic Chrome. I was just playing around with some variations on some vintage looks and stumbled across this combination of settings.

This could be a sequel to SKYLIGHT. It’s so similar that I could have titled this SKYLIGHT 2 but since the WB is auto and I use a WB shift instead I figured it would benefit from a new name. This one is a little more versatile for different lighting sources.

I feel like this is a good mix of vintage and modern. I really dig that. I hope you enjoy it too!
