Nostalgic Negative film recipe for autumn and fall colours. Works on X100VI, X-T5, X-T50, X-S20, X-H2S, X-M5
Scorpio
The Nostalgic Negative film simulation is one of the compelling extra looks that is present on the newer series of Fujifilm X-Series cameras. You can only find it on models such as the X100VI or X-T50, the tiny new X-M5, the X-T5, X-H2S and X-S20. The simulation has a unique look that is subtly different from the other simulations, perhaps most closely resembling Eterna when maxed out with a -4 shadow and +4 color setting.
One of the great attributes of Nostalgic Negative is the treatment of reds and oranges. There is an amber richness and magentism to them, and reds in particular can appear to jump off the page without looking too saturated. It’s this quality that I have looked to work with in the Scorpio film recipe, designed for autumn, but great for general use when a deeper tone and stand out reds are called for.
