Ever since I created my first Bleach Wash recipe I knew I wanted to revisit this look and create another variation. Just like Bleach Wash 1 I created this on my X-T1 but I tried to keep this recipe compatible with as many X-Series cameras as possible. This should work on X-Pro1 and X-E1 cameras...

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 recipe works great with artificial lighting that you find in city street scenes. But because... 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 →
