Nurture Nature
I have recently received a bunch of recommendation requests for a standard but solid recipe with natural colours so I took it upon myself to do a bit of research but ultimately decided to start designing my own. With Provia as my base Film Simulation, I did a lot of testing, shooting, reshooting, analysing all of which resulted in the birth of ‘Nurture Nature’, a new recipe which I’m really proud of.
‘Nurture Nature’ is definitely one of my best all-round recipes to date. It has been designed to work in almost every environment and lighting situation however it definitely shines outside. This recipe respects nature with it’s beautiful colours, natural dynamic range, good contrast, a weak grain and warmed Auto WB. I’ve designed this recipe with 0 Clarity so it can be used on high speed continuous modes. Obviously feel free to change the NR, Sharpening and Grain to suit your needs/environment.
