Shooting notes

When this recipe shines.

This recipe shines in vibrant outdoor landscapes, especially under bright sunlight, where the strong color saturation enhances the scene. With a custom white balance set to 6590 Kelvin and a slight shift towards red, it captures warm tones beautifully. Avoid using this setting for skin tones as it may render them overly saturated, which can be unflattering.

Tune it further

Three tweaks worth trying.

Soften for portraits

Lower color to +2 and clarity to -2 to create a more natural look for skin tones.

Increase dynamic range

Switch to DR400 for improved detail in highlights and shadows if shooting in high-contrast scenes.

Add more grain

Increase grain strength to 'Strong' for a more textured, film-like appearance.

FAQ

About this recipe.

This recipe excels in bright outdoor lighting, particularly during golden hour, where the dynamic range and color saturation can truly shine.

With high color settings and strong color chrome effects, landscapes will appear more vivid and striking, making it ideal for capturing vibrant scenes.

No, this recipe is not suited for low contrast scenes due to its strong color saturation and highlight/shadow settings, which may lead to loss of detail.

While this recipe uses a custom Kelvin setting of 6590, you can experiment with different presets or adjust the Kelvin value for varying light conditions.

Setting noise reduction to -4 will result in a grainier image, which can enhance texture but may also introduce visible noise, especially at higher ISO settings.

This recipe is primarily designed for still photography; for video, consider adjusting settings like dynamic range and noise reduction to optimize for motion.
