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... Continue Reading →
https://youtu.be/vzjmve8tI-I In my latest YouTube video I discuss my film camera journey. I've tried a ton of film cameras over the years and through all of that I've discovered the camera aspects and features that are important to me. Everyone has their own preference. Mine may not be the same as yours and vice versa... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →

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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
