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. 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 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 →

They have similarities but the have a few key differences that make them unique. Although both have... Continue Reading →
The differences in B&W film simulation recipes for the X-T1 are subtle. The lack of Acros, grain settings and the lower range of each setting limit the choices. 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 →
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 →
When I first created this "REFRACTED ROSE" recipe and shot with it I didn't know how I felt about it. It originally didn't come out how I expected and wanted. Almost 6 weeks later I gave it a second look and now have a new appreciation for it. Maybe it's because it's different from any... Continue Reading →
