I’m keeping this blog entry for this recipe short and sweet. I wanted to create a new B&W recipe that would look good in both daylight and night settings. I love shooting neon signs in B&W and thought it might be cool to see how something like this would do with that. I also wanted…

MY FILM CAMERA JOURNEY (REUNITING WITH THE NIKON F3) – youtube video

“LUMINESCENT” – Film Simulation Recipe (Created on the Fujifilm X-T1)
This is my first recipe that I created specifically with night street photography in mind. This mimics no specific film stock but shares a couple of elements of some color film stock that has been used for similar scenes.

Almost immediately after a new piece of gear is announced the speculation starts about what they left out and what features they might add in the next iteration. The X-H1 was no different. A wishlist of features…

“CITY TEAL” – Film Simulation Recipe (Created on the Fujifilm X-T1)
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…

“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…
