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 →
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 →
The past few recipes I've created all utilized a pre-set White Balance setting, as opposed to AUTO WB. 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 →

Westerns. Desert landscapes. Sunsets.These were all running through my mind when I was creating this recipe. Just like with some of my other recipes this film simulation recipe doesn’t mimic any specific film stock.This look is a bit extreme in a few aspects compared to most 35mm film stocks. The white balance setting is the... Continue Reading →
Up until now every film simulation recipe I’ve created has had an associated YouTube video on my channel. I’ve waited to share each recipe until I’ve felt like I shot enough samples and recorded a video for it. Starting with this “COBALT” recipe I’m going to start posting recipes more often regardless if I have... Continue Reading →
Hey! Well I created yet another Fujifilm Facebook group. This one is more broad. It’s for anyone using any Fujifilm gear to create content with. A lot of groups are designed for users of a specific camera line. (Like my X-T1 group) This one is for any Fuji user or anyone who wants to be... Continue Reading →
This “BLEACH WASH” is inspired by the cinematic bleach bypass look as well as the new ETERNA Bleach Bypass simulation built into the X-T4. The X-T1 doesn’t have the capabilities to get this look exactly like those classic bleach bypass films but I used those for inspiration. Take a look at some image samples and... Continue Reading →
So far the film simulation recipes I’ve made and shared have been created on and for my X-T1. Monochrome Sands is the first one I created using my X-H1. This should work on any Fujifilm camera with the X-Trans III or IV sensor. None of these film simulation recipes will ever look exactly like their... Continue Reading →
I really enjoy these Fujifilm related Facebook groups so I decided to create one strictly for X-T1 owners. We can share tips, recipes, photo samples, etc. if you’re a X-T1 owner or are thinking about picking one up, join us on FB! If you’re not on Facebook and would still like to participate in the...
