Film Recipes for Fujifilm Cameras

Nostalgic, soft tone and retro film recipes using Fujifilm film simulations

Westworld, Go West in Kodachrome Style

A Classic Chrome film simulation recipe for use with Fujifilm X-Trans IV cameras

Bring yourself back online. Here’s a really useful film recipe for your trip to The Park. It has a bit of everything that’s great about Classic Chrome, with retro Kodak aesthetics, a subtly altered colour balance, and slightly muted highlights and saturation. It reminds me of the classic Kodachrome 64 look.

I’m a bit of a Westworld geek, and to mark the return of the mind bending HBO series for its 4th set of episodes, I’ve named this recipe Westworld. But, whether you enjoy watching the journey of Dolores and Bernard or not, this is a wonderful choice for all sorts of photos with a classic Kodak vibe.
