    This “CITY TEAL” recipe was a result of just a bit of experimenting.

    I don’t think I would have thought specifically about trying a look like this if I had not stumbled upon it.

    It’s a little bit of a cold look but the green tint helps give blue sky a teal vibe with certain exposures. It also provides a certain flare to the city and street scenes I tend to shoot a lot of. Notice how some metal and concrete elements in the shot grab the green tint nicely.

    I think this did great with midday lighting but I want to try this one at night. It may not work but it will be a cool experiment.

    I shot all of these samples with my X-T1 and the 16mm 2.8. That lens is really great for tight spaces. A focal length like that is great for zone focusing which comes in handy for street photography. After looking at these pics I noticed I had a few spots on the sensor. I have since cleaned it.

    The recipe settings are below this gallery of photo samples.

      Hello, looking for recipes for the x-trans ll sensor of the Fuji x100T, I found your site. It’s great that you have different recipes to the ones already known for this sensor. I congratulate you. I would just like to ask what ISO do you use in them? Since I see several recipes that work for me but do not specify the ISO to use Greetings and I thank you in advance
