Shooting notes

When this recipe shines.

This Acros Push Process recipe excels in urban architecture and minimalist interiors, capturing dramatic shadows with its strong grain and high dynamic range. It thrives in varied lighting conditions, particularly when you want to emphasize contrast. A common mistake to avoid is underexposing your shots, as the strong highlights can easily clip if not properly balanced with your exposure compensation set to +1.

Tune it further

Three tweaks worth trying.

Reduce highlights for softer tones

Lower the highlight setting to +2 for a more balanced tonal range in bright scenes.

Soften grain for smoother images

Change grain strength to 'Weak' to reduce the gritty texture in your images.

Enhance shadows for depth

Increase the shadow setting to +4 to add more depth and detail in darker areas.

Film stock vibe

If this were a film…

This recipe mimics the characteristics of classic black and white films, particularly in its strong contrast and grain structure, similar to Ilford HP5.

FAQ

About this recipe.

This recipe performs well in both natural and artificial light, especially in high-contrast situations where shadows are prominent due to its DR200 setting.

With a strong grain strength, your images will have a pronounced texture, which can enhance the nostalgic feel but may not be suitable for all subjects.

While you can use it for portraits, it's not best for soft skin tones due to the strong grain and highlight settings; consider a different recipe for smoother results.

Using the auto white balance helps maintain color neutrality, but be cautious in mixed lighting to avoid color casts that could affect the monochrome output.

This recipe is primarily designed for still photography, and the settings may not translate well to video, especially the strong grain and highlight adjustments.

With exposure compensation set to +1, be mindful of very bright areas; consider lowering highlights to +2 or adjusting exposure to maintain detail.
