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". I know it becomes difficult to tell these B&W recipes apart at first but once you shoot with them often enough... Continue Reading →

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 →

I created "Vivid Spectra" because I realized I had haven't done anything yet with the built in Velvia simulation. I figured it's time... 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 →
