    “VIVID SPECTRA” – A color rich, Velvia based recipe.

    *I had posted the wrong recipe info before. It’s corrected now. Thank you for visiting! Most of the time I create recipes based on visual inspirations. It’s not the case this time. I created “Vivid Spectra” because I realized I had haven’t done anything yet with the built in Velvia simulation. I figured it’s time…

  • “1979” – A Vintage Look. (Film Simulation for X-T1 and more)

    “1979” – A Vintage Look. (Film Simulation for X-T1 and more)

    “1979” Recipe Settings Although I like my Gold Leaf recipe it’s a bit too extreme to use regularly. I created this “1979” recipe to be a look that you can walk around with shooting all kinds of situations with. I don’t create these recipes trying to mimic any specific film stock. Instead I try to…

  • “GOLD LEAF 1” – A Fujifilm X-T1 Film Simulation Recipe

    “GOLD LEAF 1” – A Fujifilm X-T1 Film Simulation Recipe

    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…

  • “COBALT” – A Fujfilm X-T1 Film Simulation Recipe

    “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…

  • Fujifilm Creative Collective

    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…

  • “BLEACH WASH 1” – Fujifilm X-T1 Film Simulation Recipe

    “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…

  • “MONOCHROME SANDS” – Fujifilm Film Simulation Recipe

    “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…

We can share tips, recipes, photo samples, etc. if you’re a X-T1 owner or are thinking about picking one up, join us on FB! If you’re not on Facebook and would still like to participate in the…
