Film simulation recipe that uses settings to maximise lens flare in your photos
I love shooting into the light … I mean, I really love it. I love the blast of soft light that flares and leaks into a scene. It’s my personaly preferred style, allowing me to capture atmosphere and mood, and wash out my images in a soft tones style.
Our FujiFilm cameras are modern and amazing, and have all sorts of design effort that has gone into reducing flare, at least to the point where you need to seek it out when you want it. I built this recipe to make it a bit easier, using recipe settings to lift shadows and maximise the flare effect.
So if you really love shooting towards the light, and prefer a washed out faded look, then reach for the Emergency Flare, and fire it to get the maximum flare possible.
