About this recipe

A warm, high-contrast vintage recipe that evokes the look of overexposed autumn slides from the 1970s — think Kodachrome pushed in fading afternoon sun. Deep amber shadows, slightly blown warm highlights, and a faint sepia tint give still-life and nature close-ups a richly aged, tactile quality. The elevated contrast and reduced saturation prevent it from looking garish, keeping colours honest but unmistakably old. Use it for fallen leaves on wooden surfaces, dried flowers, old books by a window, or any intimate still-life where autumn texture and warmth are the subject. Works beautifully in soft directional indoor light or in the low raking sun of a late October afternoon.
