Some of you may have arrived here from watching my YouTube videos, but if you haven't checked out my YouTube channel I invite you to do so. Along with a channel on YouTube a few months ago I began mirroring that channel on the LBRY platform. For those that don't know about LBRY here's a... Continue Reading →
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 →
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.

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 →
My first 2 black and white film simulation recipes were high contrast looks. Sometimes you need a slightly lower contrast film sim recipe to help soften shadows a bit. My next couple of recipes were built based on this need, including this one "STREET SPIRIT". I built "STREET SPIRIT" on my X-T1 but just like... Continue Reading →
