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...

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. This recipe works great with artificial lighting that you find in city street scenes. But because... Continue Reading →
This "CITY TEAL" recipe was a result of just a bit of experimenting. I don't think I would have thought specifically about trying a look like this if I had not stumbled upon it. It's a little bit of a cold look but the green tint helps give blue sky a teal vibe with certain... 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 →
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 →
When I started creating "METRO ELEMENTS" I had 2 goals in mind, adding to my grainy recipes to have another organic film like option and to have solid everyday walk around type recipe for my X-H1. Just like with "REFRACTED ROSE" and "C-3400" I used the combination of -4 sharpness and a strong grain setting.... 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 →
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 →
