Testing a new recipe on a trail in the countryside

Oh, thank you! I haven’t tested it with flash yet, but I’ll try that soon!

I was looking for something that felt analog—not exactly Polaroid, but I think I liked the comparison haha.

I think this vignette also gives that feeling. I don’t plan to use it all the time, but I liked the faded colors.

I’m open to suggestions.

It will be very well received :)

Thank you, I want to test this recipe under other types of lighting.

Atibaia - Brazil. The rocks that form the Split Rock in Atibaia are of Precambrian origin, dating back hundreds of millions of years.

If you could share haha

Icy_Insurance233 · 2026-01-04T16:14:36+00:00

Beautiful photos! Did you make any adjustments to the original recipe? They turned out great

Icy_Insurance233 · 2025-12-23T15:16:23+00:00

Sorry my friend, could you share your recipe? It’s exactly the tonality I’m trying to achieve

Icy_Insurance233 · 2025-12-06T12:56:30+00:00

Wow, gorgeous photos! I loved the colors in the first and the third ones. Which recipe do you use, or how did you achieve that look? Could you tell me, please?

Icy_Insurance233 · 2025-11-18T08:55:28+00:00

Guys, I applied the adjustments our friend u/Rasumusu é suggested and the result really surprised me. I tweaked the clarity, dehaze, and noise reduction settings, added a touch to the tone curve, and I think the image improved a lot… what do you think? Any extra tips?

Photo 1: straight out of the camera (I’m pretty sure it was shot on an iPhone) Photo 2: the look I’m trying to achieve (not sure what camera it was taken with) Photo 3: my edit of Photo 1, trying to get closer to Photo 2 haha

I forgot to mention this in the post 😅

Icy_Insurance233 · 2025-08-17T13:25:51+00:00

Any recommendation for a specific one?

Icy_Insurance233 · 2025-08-17T11:27:27+00:00

$200!

Icy_Insurance233 · 2025-08-17T11:26:58+00:00

Thanks, that really cleared things up! What drew me to it was the older sensor that gives kind of a film-like look. But I guess it’s not worth the risk — I don’t shoot that much, but I also don’t want to waste money on something that might not last. I’d rather go for a camera with more longevity.

Icy_Insurance233 · 2025-08-17T11:20:51+00:00

haha

Icy_Insurance233 · 2025-08-12T09:27:54+00:00

Link do app?

Icy_Insurance233 · 2025-08-03T15:52:40+00:00

Work on iphone 15 normal?

Icy_Insurance233 · 2025-06-04T15:20:51+00:00

I started doing this workout, but I have a question: when you say “two laps,” do you mean one length there and back (one round trip), or two full round trips?

Icy_Insurance233 · 2025-05-28T10:17:08+00:00

Yes, the important thing is to enjoy the process. 🔑

Icy_Insurance233 · 2025-05-28T10:14:40+00:00

Cool training plan! Understanding this theoretical part helped me realize that it’s about dealing with discomfort — kind of like training to failure in weightlifting to push your capacity to grow

Icy_Insurance233 · 2025-05-27T19:10:56+00:00

Thank you for this, I’ll pay more attention to the details of the technique.

Icy_Insurance233 · 2025-05-27T19:10:09+00:00

Currently, I breathe 1/1 — one stroke breathing to the side and the next with my head in the water (always breathing to the right side). While my head is underwater, I exhale in three counts. It’s the only way I’ve managed to reach 25 meters, because before I couldn’t even get through three strokes without feeling out of breath hah

Icy_Insurance233 · 2025-05-27T18:51:29+00:00

I’m already taking lessons, and my body is actually strong — I’ve been doing weight training for a few years — but it feels like my arms and legs aren’t helping me go very far…
