https://youtu.be/Je5BY9BZINs Last week I posted a video that was just a long rambling video of thoughts about my Fujifilm X-T4. This week I decided to make a similar video about my X-H1. Last month I had posted that I was thinking of selling my X-H1 and getting a different "second" Fujifilm camera. Last year I... Continue Reading →
As most of you know by now I absolutely love gear. Whether its my computers I use to edit and write or the lenses and cameras for photography and videography. I know many of you love gear as much as I do. I love it a little too much. This has often led to me... Continue Reading →

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.

This recipe works great with artificial lighting that you find in city street scenes. But because... Continue Reading →
https://youtu.be/DbuGwCThrHU This is my last YouTube video of the year. In this video I recap my YouTube progress, my most used cameras of 2020 and more. It's basically just a 12 minute chat about photography and saying thank you to all of you for giving me the encouragement to keep going with this blog and... Continue Reading →
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... Continue Reading →
This STONE GARDEN recipe sits somewhere between my C-3400 and METRO ELEMENTS. They were all built with the idea of street photography in mind. This is the latest addition to my color street photography recipes. I appreciate recipes with a vintage look to them, I've created some and I intend to create more but this... Continue Reading →
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 →
