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... Continue Reading →

“TERRACE FLORA” – Street Photography Recipe for the X-T1
This is another street photography recipe that has a little bit of a vintage vibe to it. "TERRACE FLORA" is on a similar spectrum as my "GOLD LEAF 1" and "1979" recipes. Just like those it's based on the built in Astia simulation. This one is as versatile as "1979" but with just a slightly... Continue Reading →
“STONE GARDEN” – FILM SIMULATION RECIPE
This STONE GARDEN recipe sits somewhere between my C-3400 and METRO ELEMENTS. They were all built with the idea of street photography in mind. This is the latest addition to my color street photography recipes. I appreciate recipes with a vintage look to them, I've created some and I intend to create more but this... Continue Reading →
“COARSE CITY” – A BW FILM SIMULATION RECIPE
I've posted a few black & white film simulation recipes so far but only one of them was made on my X-H1 which was "MONOCHROME SANDS". "COARSE CITY" is my latest B&W recipe that made with my X-H1. They have similarities but the have a few key differences that make them unique. Although both have... Continue Reading →
“REFLECTED CONCRETE” – A B&W Film Simulation Recipe
I want to create as many good B&W film simulation choices as I can for the X-T1. "REFLECTED CONCRETE" is my latest B&W recipe. This sits somewhere between my "STREET SPIRIT" and "TONED CARBON". I know it becomes difficult to tell these B&W recipes apart at first but once you shoot with them often enough... Continue Reading →
“TONED CARBON” – A X-T1 FILM SIMULATION RECIPE
The differences in B&W film simulation recipes for the X-T1 are subtle. The lack of Acros, grain settings and the lower range of each setting limit the choices. That being said there are enough settings to create a handful. This latest one that I call "TONED CARBON" is the second B&W recipe I created for... Continue Reading →
“METRO ELEMENTS” – FILM SIMULATION RECIPE
When I started creating "METRO ELEMENTS" I had 2 goals in mind, adding to my grainy recipes to have another organic film like option and to have solid everyday walk around type recipe for my X-H1. Just like with "REFRACTED ROSE" and "C-3400" I used the combination of -4 sharpness and a strong grain setting.... Continue Reading →
“C-3400” – Film Simulation Recipe
If you've browsed through the rest of my film simulation recipes you may have seen "COBALT" which I created on my X-T1. I liked the look I was getting out of "COBALT" and a lot of the reason for the look was the white balance setting. I decided to try to create something on my... Continue Reading →
“REFRACTED ROSE” – A stylized film simulation recipe.
When I first created this "REFRACTED ROSE" recipe and shot with it I didn't know how I felt about it. It originally didn't come out how I expected and wanted. Almost 6 weeks later I gave it a second look and now have a new appreciation for it. Maybe it's because it's different from any... Continue Reading →
