Westerns. Desert landscapes. Sunsets.These were all running through my mind when I was creating this recipe. Just like with some of my other recipes this film simulation recipe doesn’t mimic any specific film stock.This look is a bit extreme in a few aspects compared to most 35mm film stocks. The white balance setting is the... Continue Reading →
“COBALT” – A Fujfilm X-T1 Film Simulation Recipe
Up until now every film simulation recipe I’ve created has had an associated YouTube video on my channel. I’ve waited to share each recipe until I’ve felt like I shot enough samples and recorded a video for it. Starting with this “COBALT” recipe I’m going to start posting recipes more often regardless if I have... Continue Reading →
Fujifilm Creative Collective
Hey! Well I created yet another Fujifilm Facebook group. This one is more broad. It’s for anyone using any Fujifilm gear to create content with. A lot of groups are designed for users of a specific camera line. (Like my X-T1 group) This one is for any Fuji user or anyone who wants to be... Continue Reading →
“BLEACH WASH 1” – Fujifilm X-T1 Film Simulation Recipe
This “BLEACH WASH” is inspired by the cinematic bleach bypass look as well as the new ETERNA Bleach Bypass simulation built into the X-T4. The X-T1 doesn’t have the capabilities to get this look exactly like those classic bleach bypass films but I used those for inspiration. Take a look at some image samples and... Continue Reading →
“MONOCHROME SANDS” – Fujifilm Film Simulation Recipe
So far the film simulation recipes I’ve made and shared have been created on and for my X-T1. Monochrome Sands is the first one I created using my X-H1. This should work on any Fujifilm camera with the X-Trans III or IV sensor. None of these film simulation recipes will ever look exactly like their... Continue Reading →

“SKYLIGHT” – A Fujifilm X-T1 Film Simulation Recipe
One of my favorite film simulations built into the Fujifilm cameras is Classic Chrome. Classic Chrome is a simulation Fuji created for photographers who wanted more muted colors. SKYLIGHT uses Classic Chrome as the base and opens it up a little. I've decreased contrast, pulled back saturation a little more, and reduced sharpening. I created... Continue Reading →
FUJIFILM X-T1: BW Film Simulation Recipe
Even though I’ve been using Fujifilm cameras for a couple of years now I’ve just recently started playing around with custom film simulation settings or “recipes” as they’re often called. Since I shoot a lot of black and white film and since a decent amount of my digital shots are converted to black and white... Continue Reading →

Pergear 25mm f/1.8 Lens Review
One of the huge benefits of using a crop sensor system is the selection of small affordable lenses. Over the past few months I’ve seen a few reviews on lenses from Pergear on YouTube. I heard a lot of good things in those reviews so I bought a couple of Pergear lenses to try out... Continue Reading →
