Film like Classic Negative recipe, designed for rainy days but excellent in all conditions.
Umbrella
Throughout the winter the weather was dull and wet and I was really starting to miss photography. So, I decided to try and embrace the conditions and create a number of film simulation recipes for gloomy and wet days. I’ve made a bunch of these, and added them into my new Film Recipes app.
This film recipe is one of those creations, and I’ve been using it happily in grey and drizzly conditions for a few months now. I even featured it in my new Film.Recipes YouTube channel.
For owners of my film recipes app, there are regular photo challenges to enter, and in one recent round, Umbrella was one of the challenge film recipes. I love these challenges, not only because it gives that little extra push to get out there and take some photos, but with other Fujifilm photographers taking part from around the world, I get to see the film recipes in all sorts of new situations. This was the case with Umbrella.
Several of the photographers took this recipe and used it in bright sunny weather and in new locations and situations. Feedback began to come in explaining how much everyone was enjoying this recipe, and how it had a film like aesthetic that hadn’t really been seen too often before.
So here is Umbrella, which I am now making a free to all recipe. It was made for rainy days. but is a recipe that loves all weathers and brings a wonderfully toned film like feel to your photos. The more I use it, the more I love it, and I hope that you will too. It’s quite possibly my best ever film recipe!
