Days are short, leaving me with little light, so I need to shoot in a short time frame. One day, while driving home, my mind wanders off to a lovely place nearby: Gorsko Zrcalo. There is a small creek there, and situated between the hills, light might be flat, which perfectly would suit my film simulation ‘eterna’.

I just arrive before sunset, and I’m the only person there. I imagine how wonderful this place must be on a cold winter night, everything being white, the valley lightened by the moon and the sky filled with stars. It must be magic.

Enough dreaming. In order to get at least some colour in my simulation, I, in the WB settings, up the reds with 6 and lower the blues with 6, giving me a tone which perfectly fits the atmosphere, at least in my head. I take around 25 photos, below I show you the five I like most.

I really like how the brown and green colours look and love how the highlights have an eternal look. Now I know why this simulation is called ‘eterna’, and for sure I will use it more.
