  • MY FUJIFILM X-H1 (Update: I’m Keeping It)

    MY FUJIFILM X-H1 (Update: I’m Keeping It)

    Last week I posted a video that was just a long rambling video of thoughts about my Fujifilm X-T4. This week I decided to make a similar video about my X-H1. Last month I had posted that I was thinking of selling my X-H1 and getting a different “second” Fujifilm camera. Last year I owned…

  • “DOWNTOWN TRAFFIC” –  FILM SIMULATION RECIPE

    “DOWNTOWN TRAFFIC” – FILM SIMULATION RECIPE

    I’m keeping this blog entry for this recipe short and sweet. I wanted to create a new B&W recipe that would look good in both daylight and night settings. I love shooting neon signs in B&W and thought it might be cool to see how something like this would do with that. I also wanted…

  • My Last YouTube Video Of 2020

    My Last YouTube Video Of 2020

    This is my last YouTube video of the year. In this video I recap my YouTube progress, my most used cameras of 2020 and more. It’s basically just a 12 minute chat about photography and saying thank you to all of you for giving me the encouragement to keep going with this blog and YouTube…

  • “CITY TEAL” – Film Simulation Recipe (Created on the Fujifilm X-T1)

    “CITY TEAL” – Film Simulation Recipe (Created on the Fujifilm X-T1)

    This “CITY TEAL” recipe was a result of just a bit of experimenting. I don’t think I would have thought specifically about trying a look like this if I had not stumbled upon it. It’s a little bit of a cold look but the green tint helps give blue sky a teal vibe with certain…

  • “TERRACE FLORA” – Street Photography Recipe for the X-T1

    “TERRACE FLORA” – Street Photography Recipe for the X-T1

    This is another street photography recipe that has a little bit of a vintage vibe to it. “TERRACE FLORA” is on a similar spectrum as my “GOLD LEAF 1” and “1979” recipes. Just like those it’s based on the built in Astia simulation. This one is as versatile as “1979” but with just a slightly…

  • “STONE GARDEN” – FILM SIMULATION RECIPE

    “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. 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…

  • “REFLECTED CONCRETE” – A B&W Film Simulation Recipe

    “REFLECTED CONCRETE” – A B&W Film Simulation Recipe

    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…

  • “TONED CARBON”  – A X-T1 FILM SIMULATION RECIPE

    “TONED CARBON” – A X-T1 FILM SIMULATION RECIPE

    The differences in B&W film simulation recipes for the X-T1 are subtle. The lack of Acros, grain settings and the lower range of each setting limit the choices. That being said there are enough settings to create a handful. This latest one that I call “TONED CARBON” is the second B&W recipe I created for…

  • “C-3400” – Film Simulation Recipe

    “C-3400” – Film Simulation Recipe

    If you’ve browsed through the rest of my film simulation recipes you may have seen “COBALT” which I created on my X-T1. I liked the look I was getting out of “COBALT” and a lot of the reason for the look was the white balance setting. I decided to try to create something on my…

  • “REFRACTED ROSE” – A stylized film simulation recipe.

    “REFRACTED ROSE” – A stylized film simulation recipe.

    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…
