Fujifilm camera film simulation recipe with Pro Neg Std for X-Trans IV
Coastal Calm
Here’s a lovely and controlled recipe that uses Pro Neg Std as its base simulation, and produces an easy going tone that’s great for all sorts of shots, but especially relaxing walks by the water.
The trimmed highlights in this recipe keep even the brightest scenes in check, and give a slightly muted, lower contrast look that has a cinematic feel. For additional versatility, the colour balance is a classic setting, retaining natural colour in your images.
I tested this throughout a year of walks along the shoreline, and found it wonderful at both ends of the day, and out of season when colours were naturally muted. But to show the versatility, I also gave it an outing in the full Mediterranean sunshine of Mallorca, where it worked really well, taming the strong contrast and deeper blues of the ocean there.
