“STONE GARDEN” – FILM SIMULATION RECIPE
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.

“STREET SPIRIT” – A Versatile B&W Look.
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.

“1979” Recipe Settings Although I like my Gold Leaf recipe it’s a bit too extreme to use regularly. I created this “1979” recipe to be a look that you can walk around with shooting all kinds of situations with. I don’t create these recipes trying to mimic any specific film stock. Instead I try to…

“BLEACH WASH 1” – Fujifilm X-T1 Film Simulation Recipe
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…

Is The Fujifilm X-T1 Still Good In 2021?
Is the X-T1 in still good in 2021? If you browse YouTube enough you’ll find a ton of videos based on that kind of question. Since I recently picked up an X-T1 on the used market I decided to make my own version of that kind of video, with my own little spin on it.…
