Kodak Portra Daily, for Portra 160 Anytime

Classic Chrome film silmulation recipe with Kodak Portra style tones

Kodak Portra Daily

I originally devised this Kodak Portra style film recipe to give a classic Portra 160 35mm look to photos taken on a trip to Wimbledon. I realised soon after that I loved shooting with it, and the recipe needed a new name to reflect its versatility. So, Kodak Portra SW19 has become Kodak Portra Daily.

Depending on which samples you look at, Kodak Portra film images have a lighter balance and either a subtle green tone, a pale pink tone or creamy tone to the highlights and neutrals. My original Kodak Portra film recipe covers the creamy look, Kodak Portra 66 covers the pinks, and this recipe covers off the greens.

It’s got quite a bit in common with other Portra recipes (there are more linked at the bottom), but for this recipe I chose an auto white balance to make it more useful in a wide range of conditions.

So here is my, ‘use anytime Kodak Portra’ for use at tennis tournaments, and everywhere else!

Westworld, Go West in Kodachrome Style

A Classic Chrome film simulation recipe for use with Fujifilm X-Trans IV cameras

Westworld

Bring yourself back online. Here’s a really useful film recipe for your trip to The Park. It has a bit of everything that’s great about Classic Chrome, with retro Kodak aesthetics, a subtly altered colour balance, and slightly muted highlights and saturation. It reminds me of the classic Kodachrome 64 look.

I’m a bit of a Westworld geek, and to mark the return of the mind bending HBO series for its 4th set of episodes, I’ve named this recipe Westworld. But, whether you enjoy watching the journey of Dolores and Bernard or not, this is a wonderful choice for all sorts of photos with a classic Kodak vibe.

Kodachrome Daily for Everyday 64 Style

Get a Kodachrome 64 look with Fujifilm X-Trans IV cameras

Kodachrome Daily

Classic Chrome is a wonderful film simulation in it’s base configuration, and with a few tweaks it can be shaped to give similar looks to the much loved Kodachrome films from the late twentieth century.

As with some of my other Kodakchrome recipes, this one is a result of iteration and experiments with the Fuji X Weekly recipes, that are rightly so popular with Fujifilm photographers.

This film recipe retains the slightly turquoise blues of Kodachrome with Classic Chrome, but is a little softer than other recipes, making it useful as a daily driver. It also uses an auto white balance, meaning it can adapt to different conditions more readily, and be tried indoors.

It’s a daily Kodachrome 64 look, with all that’s great about Classic Chrome in a single recipe.

Oceanic 815 for Deep Ocean Blues

A lot of my film recipes feature soft tones or faded tones for a nostalgic look. Sometimes however, it’s good to have some deeper tones to help style the image in a more impactful way.

Oceanic 815

I developed this recipe for a specific purpose. To shoot images of the ocean from up on the cliffs above. It’s aim is to enhance the blues of the sea and add some stylish contrast to a scene. It should be great for beach holidays and coastal walks. Just don’t get LOST.

Kodak Portra 66 for Summer Road Trips

Creamy Kodak Portra film simulation recipe for Fujifilm X-trans IV cameras

Kodak Portra 66

Some things seem to be made to go together, and in our world of film simulations and recipes, it’s Kodak Portra and fading Americana. Think of an abandoned gas station on a dusty desert highway. Creamy tones and washed out colours give a nostalgic feel. It’s the retro look of a trip along Route 66.

I haven’t been to the American West in about a decade, so I developed this recipe closer to home. I took it out and about on a city walk in Winchester and on some walks in the New Forest.

Retrochrome for a Warm, Nostalgic 70s Style

Nostalgic Kodachrome style film recipe for Fujifilm X-Trans IV cameras

Retrochrome

Add 50 years to a scene by shooting with Retrochrome! It’s the film recipe that whisks you back to the 70s and those warm, mellow summer evenings.

Retrochrome uses the Classic Chrome film simulation, with a warm colour balance based on the shade setting, and reduced saturation for mellowness. The look would suit images of anything aged, like classic cars, old buildings, thrift store finds, or maybe just your morning coffee or natural scenes in sunny weather.

The look is similar to a Kodachrome II or 25 aesthetic, although it is not based on these films in particular.

This is a simple recipe that is designed to bring out the character of Fujifilm Classic Chrome. It loves sunny days and is great with blues and greens especially. It’s crisp and bright, and for me it feels very Fuji, so I simply named it Fujichrome.

Kodachrome Classic for 70s Kodak Style

Vintage Kodachrome film recipe for Fujifilm X-Trans IV cameras

Kodachrome Classic

The classic Kodachrome films are much loved, and with adjustments to the Classic Chrome film simulation, images that reflect this era can be readily achieved on Fujifilm X-series cameras.

Early Kodachrome films had creamy skintones and delicious blues, giving them a character that is deeply connected to that era. Anything with creams, browns and blues looked fantastic on 60s and 70s Kodachrome film.

My Kodachrome Classic recipe seeks to emulate the spirirt of these early photos, with a slide film feel and richly retro tone like a classic 60s and 70s Kodachrome photo. I find that it loves bright conditions and blue skies, so it would be a perfect companion on travel and vacations.

Classic Chrome film recipe for Fujifilm X100V, X-E4, X-S10, X-T4, X-T30ii

Soft Chrome

Sometimes you just want a simple classic look that works just about everywhere. The Soft Chrome film recipe is my interpretation of that. It takes the versatile Classic Chrome film simulation, and adds a soft tone vibe.

And although this recipe isn’t a Kodak clone, it still shares many of the same qualities, thanks to the wonderful tones of the Classic Chrome simulation. It uses settings that capture a lower contrast and saturation, meaning that this recipe can be used is just about any situation.
