Clay Court, Ace your Tennis Shots

A toned mono film recipe designed to bring clay court tennis vibes to your photos

Some film simultion recipes are versatile and work will in a wide variety of conditions. On the other hand, some are designed with a specific set of conditions in mind, for example, film recipes for the golden hour.

This film recipe was created during a visit to the Barcelona Open Tennis in 2024, and was inspired by the dusty orange tones of the clay courts. It’s something of an experiemental look, and quite possibly limited to just this use case, but it also servers as a reminder of how flexible our Fujifilm X series cameras are in producing ‘ready to use’ JPEGs in all sorts of styles.
