As you’ll be able to tell by the number of beach and boats photos on this site, I live near the English coast, where are there is always something happening on the water. Whether this is sailing, swimming, a passing cruise ship, or the latest craze, SUP (or stand-up paddleboarding), it’s a good source of photographic subject matter.
Fuji Five-O
With all that blue water around me, it’s natural that at least some of my recipes will be designed to work well for life on the water.This one, which I’ve called Fuji Five-O, brings out the blues in a scene, with creamy neutrals and, because it’s based on Classic Negative, those print style greens.
It uses a fixed colour temperature, negative clarity and soft tone curve, which adds to the aesthetic throughout the day, giving a pale softness to golden hour, and keeping blues prominent, which I personally really like.
