    Controversy Film Recipe with Dramatic Rich Tones

    Film simulation recipe for a striking look with bold colour, deep shadows and unforgettable style.

    Controversy

    There are many Fujifilm film recipes that mimic creamy film looks, but sometimes you want to experiment and push yourself with a film recipe that goes beyond the basics. Controversy is exactly that recipe. The name has two origins. The first is contre jour, shooting directly into bright light, which is where this film recipe absolutely excels. The second is Jealousy, an app-only recipe with similar bold characteristics but a distinctly greener cast. Controversy takes Jealousy’s spirit and shifts it warmer, richer and more versatile.

    Built on Classic Negative, Controversy takes you away from the safely of nautral settings into a much deeper place. Highlights are lifted to +3 and shadows deepened to match, creating drama and real impact in high-contrast scenes. Point this at the sun during golden hour, into backlit foliage or against a sunset sky, and the results are striking.

    There is an interesting flip side to all this. The same boosted tone curve that loves bright light also transforms gloomy conditions. On a grey, overcast day or in dark woodland, Controversy adds drama and impact where there might otherwise be none. Focus on details (like raindrops on the end of a leaf) amd Controversy will transform a flat scene into something bold and atmospheric. The warm white balance shift makes colour rich, whatever the weather.

    This is an experimental film recipe, and one that can be more challenging to master. It is not suited to every scene, but if you feeling adventurous, or just want to play with something more extreme, set to JPEG and see what drama you can capture, straight out of camera.

  • Real Leica Film Recipe

    Real Leica Film Recipe

    Capturing premium colour tones with Fujifilm Reala Ace Simulation

    Leica cameras are a top tier product offering excellent image quality, fantastic build and design, and a reputation that is trusted by professionals the world over. Images are controlled, clean and natural, without the standout character of Fujifilm simulations. But there is a certain something to them, often found in gently pink red tones that make photos recognisably Leica.

    So, for this film recipe, I wanted to capture as many of these qualities as I could, not necessarily hoping to fool observers, but to bring as much Leica character to Fuji SOOC photos as possible.

    Using Reala Ace as the base simulation feels right to me, bringing the smoothness of tone and controlled, clean results. Grain is kept off and the Color Chrome effects are put to work to retain definition in coloured subjects. This allows a boost to saturation without making photos look too artificial.

    This film simulation recipe for Leica colours has been available in the Film Recipes app for a little while, and I’d certainly recommend you grab a copy to get access to more recipes, including a Pro NEG Hi. Leica look and around 800 other recipe styles.

    There are many ways to interpret a style, and this is my best take on a real Leica look. I hope you’ll enjoy it.

    Natural smooth tones and clean colour are characterstics of the Real Leica film recipe.

  • Nightwalker, Street Film Recipe for Night Lights

    Nightwalker, Street Film Recipe for Night Lights

    Fujifilm film simulation recipe for night street photography and city lights with a cyber teal tone

    With earlier dark nights in Winter, I’ve been experimenting with more street photography under the streetlights and lights from passing traffic. In the UK, it’s dark by around 5pm around now, meaning that there’s no need to go out late. And, with a few rainy evenings recently, I was able to try out some new film recipes ideas for street with the extra bonus of wet surfaces and reflections.

    The addition of recent rain to night photos is transformational, adding lots of bounceback lighting and refections to all sorts of surfaces. In particular floors, streets and pavements become mirrors, doubling up the number of light points for the images. It’s also a fun time to try accessories such as mirrors and lensballs, adding again to the number of light points for more creative images.

    For this film recipe, I wanted to pull out lots of the light volume and colour, so the base here is Velvia with some optional overexposure. This helps bring colour into more of the image in the darker conditions, but the choice of exposure is very much a personal one.

    The other big element in this recipe is the colour balance shifting which leans hard into teal and blue. This adds something of a Cyber / Bladerunner vibe, adding atmosphere to artificial lights, and giving a striking turquoise look if using with any residual daylight.

    So, here we go with the recipe details, and samples taken over two recent evenings.

  • Sunset Strip E6, Lomochrome Film Recipe

    Sunset Strip E6, Lomochrome Film Recipe

    Bold cosy colours and a soft dreamy look, to mimic 36 processing of Lomochrome Sunset Strip 35mm film

    It’s no surprise that I love creating film recipes, and when challenged to match an interesting look based on real world film I am right in my element. For this film recipe, I was approached by Mark LeonHeart, one of the Fujifilm photographers that uses the Film Recipes app. He was explaining to me, how when shooting film in the past, he had chosen to cross-process Lomochrome’s Sunset Strip film, not with C41 chemicals, but E6 instead.

    The charm of these 35mm scans is undeliable, with a rich yellow tone, but also softness and vintage nostalgia.

    Experimenting to create the look would be a fun exercise, and it would prove interesting to see how close it was possible to get with a Fujifilm film simulation recipe.

    The starting point for me was to find a colour balance that delivered a similarly bold yellow tone, and to work from that to see which film sim would match the overall feel.

    Blues remained distinct, although now shifted strongly towards greens, and hints in the boat steering photo included a vibrant orange too. Challenge accepted!

    My resulting film recipe captures a lot of the qualities of these images, if perhaps not as much analog softness. I applied liberal amounts of negative clarity, but if you have one, a vintage or disploable lens conversion might be a great partner.

    So here are my film recipe samples, and the details for creating the look in your camera.

  • Underwood, Deep Forest Mood Film Recipe

    Underwood, Deep Forest Mood Film Recipe

    Creative deep tones film recipe for exploring the details found in nature

    Here’s a fresh new look at the Reala Ace film simulation, found on the newer Fujifilm X Series cameras. I have it on my X-S20 via a software update, but models like the X100VI, X-M5, X-E5 and X-T50 will have it available too.

    In this recipe, I’ve explored a deeper look that keep the low contrast character of Reala Ace, but uses underexposure to dramatically change the look of the resulting photos. Blacks become a dominant feature, but with the impressive tone control of our cameras, we actually see a lot of mood and detail in the deep tones.

    The colour balance here is fairly neutral, working well with forest and woodland finds, and a reduced saturation adds to the character of the resulting photos. In dull weather, the result can almost look moonlit, and I’ve come to prefer using this recipe when the weather is damp or grey.

    It’s a fun recipe to experiement with, presenting your familiar favourites in a very different way. I love it for woodland walks, but I am excited to see what you make of it too. Have fun!

    Moody and deep with a dark overall look, but retaining shadow details.

  • Gneiss Shot, Granite Tones Bleach Bypass

    Gneiss Shot, Granite Tones Bleach Bypass

    Eterna Bleach Bypass film simulation recipe that enhances blues, creams and browns

    In preparation for the changing seasons been working on some more film recipe looks for winter, and in these experiements, I’ve been playing with Eterna Blach Bypass again. I love this simulation for its low saturation character matched with bold, but controlled contrast. It’s fun to create with, and has a way of displaying a wider spectrum of styles than the other simulations.

    For this recipe, I started with a desire to find something that would bring earthy, rocky and natural scenes to life in a new way. The aim was something impactful, without being too artifical, and certainly a style that looked great for nature photography, and yes, granite rocks too.

    Apart from a quirky base colour balance, the result is neither especially warm or cool, but manages to accent both brown and blue tones. This makes blue skies impactful and is especially good with white clouds in the sky as well.

    The tones do lend themselves to winter scenes as well, surpessing greens and alowing frost details to stand out. It works best with good lighting, like sunlight or bright hazy mist, but it’s great fun all round, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy trying it as much as I do.

  • Rosa Golden, Inspiring Golden Hour Recipe

    Rosa Golden, Inspiring Golden Hour Recipe

    Classic negative film simulation recipe for sunsets and the golden hour

    I do love to see the film recipes of other creators. As much as finding new looks, I enjoy seeing different creative processes. One such creator is Kebs Cayabyab, (YouTube channel), who has a focus on street photography, and created the Dela Rosa recipe that inspired my Rosa Negative recipe. His channel has gone quiet, but the inspiration from his recipe remains. I’ve taken the vibe and switched it up with a big boost to the style with a new colour temperature.

    Rosa Negative is a recipe for the golden hour, with a striking tangerine palette that makes a family of images hang together. The result is a specialised golden hour recipe with an inspiring tone that varies from gold, through orange to red. I hope you’ll enjoy it, and will give it a try the next time you’re photographing at sunset.

    This recipe works on any camera with the Classic Negative film simulation. All you need now is to wait for sunset!

    Absolute Portra – My Best Kodak Portra Film Recipe

    Get the Kodak Portra 400 look on your Fujifilm X100VI with this Kodak Film Simulation Recipe

    The appeal of Kodak Portra 400 film is widespread and there are a variety of film recipes out there that mimic the style and general feel of this Kodak 35mm film look. I have made a number, with my personal favourite being this Kodak Portra 400 film recipe based on the Eterna film simulation.

    When revieing sample images and scans of Kodak Portra, there is a fairly broad range of appearance, with some having soft shadow, some deeper and some being more saturated than others. So, whilst my Eterna recipe is based on some personal favourite photographers that I follow, there is a slightly different feel to what people perhaps expact from a Kodak Portra 400 recipe.

    So, with that in mind, I have created this new look, which I call Absolute Portra. It uses the Classic Chrome film simualtion as the base, and a widely favoured +2R -5B colour balance shift. It is complimented by a small nudge towards brighter midtones with a +1/3 over exposure, set on your exposure compensation dial. The results are lovely, with a creamy tone and bright warm image that captures the essence of Kodak Portra in everyday shooting.

  • Amber T200, Faded Colour 35mm Film

    Amber T200, Faded Colour 35mm Film

    Pale colours film simulation recipe inspired by Amber T200 film

    It’s time to create a film recipe that mimics a real world film, and one that has a characterful look that I’ve not seen presented in many other films before.

    The film in question is RETO Amber T200, which is a Tungsten colour balanced 35mm film, which creates faded prints in daylight, tinted with a pale blue, slightly purple tone.

    I found this look very interesting, and wondered if it would be possible to recreate it, or at least something like it, using our Fujifilm cameras.

    My resulting recipe shares quite a lot of the qualities in sample images, especially when over exposed by two stops at +2/3. The base simulation is Pro Neg. Standard, which I found more like the samples than my first attempts with Classic Chrome.

    The images that you capture will often be pale with faded colour, so this recipe is something that might not suit all situations. I enjoy using it in watery sunlight and bright but cloudy conditions. But there’s no reason to limit yourself that that, and to have some fun experiementing with this distinctive and unique look. An example might be to try it under artificial light at night. Like the film it mimics, this recipe has a white balance which is designed for this even if most images are taken in daylight.

    123 Chrome – Classic Kodachrome Look

    A versatile film simulation recipe for landscape, travel and general photography

    Back again with a massive banger of a film recipe that delivers beautiful looks in fine weather for a huge range of subjects. This Classic Chrome simulation recipe presents a classic Kodak mood with definite Kodachrome vibes that come through in the colours and slightly nostalgic edge to photos taken with it. It’s fully compatible with all new and recent cameras too, so whether you have an X100VI, X-E5, X-M5, X-T50 or older camera back to the X100V, then this recipe will work really well for you.

    I did my field testing on a trip to the coast, and you can see how the blues of the sky and sea have rendered. I gave the Color Chrome Blue a push to achieve this, and I love how it adds impact without looking false. This is set to weak on new cameras, and strong on older models, but you can try strong on new cameras too if you really love a deep blue.

    Your other option with this recipe is to introduce grain at Weak, Small. I’ve kept things super smooth in the published settings, but for a more film like result, you can add this on if you prefer. Otherwise, enjoy the Kodachrome vibes of this sunny day workhorse, and if you like your results, do let me know.
