Balloo Astia

On a particular sunny morning I went for a long walk around my hometown with the aim of creating and testing out a new Astia recipe, one with less overall saturation and a slightly cooler WB shift than any of my other Astia recipes.

From that morning ‘Balloo Astia’ was born and it has turned out to be a very useable recipe indeed. With an Auto white balance (with a R3 B-3 shift) and Clarity set to 0 you can really rely on this recipe to capture the natural colours in front of you. It has maximum DR400 and quite a strong contrast to make it pop.

Give ‘Balloo Astia’ a try the next time your out! It makes a great alternative to Classic Chrome if you happen to be looking for one.
