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 →

I created this “1979” recipe to be a look that you can walk around with shooting all kinds of situations... 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...

One of my favorite film simulations built into the Fujifilm cameras is Classic Chrome. Classic Chrome is a simulation Fuji created for photographers who wanted more muted colors. SKYLIGHT uses Classic Chrome as the base and opens it up a little. I've decreased contrast, pulled back saturation a little more, and reduced sharpening. I created... Continue Reading →
Even though I’ve been using Fujifilm cameras for a couple of years now I’ve just recently started playing around with custom film simulation settings or “recipes” as they’re often called. Since I shoot a lot of black and white film and since a decent amount of my digital shots are converted to black and white... Continue Reading →
