Nikon Imaging Recipes (Monochrome)

Welcome to the new collection of Nikon Imaging Monochrome Recipes by One Camera One Lens. All these recipes will be forwarded with the prefix “MGA” so that you know that they are created by myself.

All the below recipes can be downloaded as a bulk set from the link below safely stored on my MEGA site.

For exclusively photographing people I would recommend using Nikon Standard, Nikon Portrait or Rich Tone Portrait. Or just shoot in raw.

All recipes use default Auto White Balance and D-Lighting set to “Normal”. Exposure until correct. Please experiment and enjoy!
