Centre Court, with Astia for Summer Greens

Fujifilm recipe for X-Trans IV cameras using the Astia Soft simulation

Inspired by a trip to Wimbledon to watch the tennis championships, I wanted to try some new recipes that would capture the manicured grass and pretty floral displays. I chose Astia for this recipe, looking to accurately capture colour and tone, but with a Fujifilm feel.

  1. Hi!I love your all jpeg recipes.I really enjoy those.Thank you very much always.
    May ask you some questions?

    Which camera use these “Center court” photos?

    x-t3 and x-t4 are how much differences for contrast?Shadow tone and Hilight tone are -0.5 each at x-t4?

    • Thank you. I use as X-S10 for my photos, with a 16-80 lens. I’m not too sure about the main differences in contrast between the cameras, but I know that the 0.5 settings are useful for subtle changes, but it’s ok to use -1, +1, etc. on another camera too.

      • Thank you very much to reply.
        I was cleared about contrast.

        I’m really enjoying your custom recipe.
        and then I got really inspired and motivated toward taking pictures.

        Thank you always!
