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 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".

This usually helps provide a color cast in some situations when using these recipes, some more drastic than others. My "1979" is more subtle than my "GOLD LEAF" recipe for example. Since I've posted those I've noticed... Continue Reading →
