Warm Spring Evening

View original postGolden-hour color negative on one of the strangest white balances in the catalog: Daylight shifted B4 G11, blue and green at once. In warm low sun it cancels into a natural nostalgic glow, and Shading -3 pulls the vignette off the corners like an old print.

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
Luke runs exposure compensation between +1/3 and +1 on this one.
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.
