Film Recipes for Fujifilm Cameras

Classic Gold, like Aged & Faded Kodak Gold

Film simulation for old Kodak Gold 35mm for Fujifilm X-Trans IV cameras

Classic Gold Film Recipe

Classic Gold

I like to follow groups and tags for 35mm film and analog photography. Seeing how people use old film stock is inspiring and gives me motivation to try and achieve similar looks with Fujifilm film simulation recipes.

As well as lots of Portra film, I often see Kodak Gold and especially people shooting with old rolls they find unopened for several years. Images with these were the inspiration for this recipe, using Classic Negative and a strong aged retro feel, like you see with expired or out of date film rolls.

        Indeed, works perfectly, also during cloudy weather generates nice retro images with brownish tint. You can look here:

        I’m gonna try out most of your recipes and if you wish I can share my galleries in comments.

        Photos straight from SD card 🙂

        Thanks for sharing the images with me. I really like how they’ve come out. The tones and bright highlights look great, I think and I love some of the subjects you chose.

        I am planning a way for people to contribute images they’ve taken for other to see, but for now, yes … do share when you’ve been trying out a recipe. I love to see the photos.

    Another nice one. I have saved most of your recipes. Lovely area where you live. I always look forward to seeing your photos (and new recipes). Thank you!

        Quick test. (Though, I might have got the sims’ names mixed up). Love the creamy soft tones.

        That’s a cool way to compare the recipes. I do a bit of A/B comparison, but I’ve not compared quite as many at once before.

    Hi, Justin. That’s just to get a first look of each film sim before I commit to 1 or 2 when I go out next time. Not on FB or IG so if I have something I’ll just post here. (btw, clicking on the image will take you to imgur site but it still doesn’t open the image in resolution/size I uploaded)

    Cheers

      Thanks very much for sharing these. Lovely images 😊 They remind me a lot of the New Forest near where I live. For the upcoming, user images gallery, what name do you prefer, TenhoSaudade or TheCameraEatsFirst?

        Use my Flickr user name “Tenhosaudade”.
        There are more (Classic Gold) photos, I will see to them this weekend.
        Cheers

    Forgot to mention the photos have only been resized, that’s all. That’s why Fuji system is perfect for me 😀
    Cheers
