Warm Negative

by Ritchie Roesch · ricohrecipes.com

Hue +4 and Daylight A14 M5 make this the warmest color recipe he publishes - everything golds over. Soft rolled highlights and deepened shadows hold it together at sunset.

White Balance: Daylight A14 M5
Highlight DR: On
Shadow DR: High
Peripheral Illum.: On
Noise Reduction: Off
ISO: ISO Auto up to 6400

The ISO here is the author's suggested Auto-ISO ceiling - noise at high ISO reads as film grain, so it's part of the look, not just exposure.

From the creator

Ritchie suggests exposure compensation between 0 and +2/3.

Camera compatibility

Originally created for the GR III - popular on the GR IV too. Every value dials straight in; the presets and settings are identical across bodies. The GR IV's newer sensor renders a touch warmer and brighter, so treat this as a starting point, not a guaranteed match; if it looks too warm, a small white-balance nudge toward blue brings it closer.
