Five Fun Film Simulation Recipes for Fujifilm Cameras

Empty Diner â€“ Reno, NV – Fujifilm X100V – Xpro ’62

There are certain Film Simulation Recipes that are great for regular use. Maybe they’re not completely versatile, and cannot be used effectively in all situations, but they’re good for a lot of photographs. There are other Recipes that are good only for certain instances, such as night photography. There are also some Film Simulation Recipes that I would categorize as fun. They’re not necessarily intended to be used often, they’re not necessarily versatile, and they’re not necessarily even meant for specific scenarios. They’re just for fun, when you want results that are a little different.

While I have included five of these fun Recipes below, I have published a lot more than just five of them. These are ones that I have personally used within the last couple of weeks. I thought if I used them and appreciated the results, perhaps you would like to try them, too. Overall, there are probably a couple dozen Recipes (maybe even more than that) that could be included in this category. Perhaps it’s unfair to say that these are the only fun ones, because in my opinion all of the Recipes are fun, but these are just for fun, if that makes sense.

The five fun Recipes below are not in any particular order. I invite you to try them today!

    Not a recipe to be used every day but one that I will definitely find a use for. When I saw the first image (“Empty Diner”) I just thought of Edward Hopper’s Nighthawk. The color tones obviously but also the composition echoed his painting.
    I’ll be out there searching for a suitable diner to photograph – although in the UK they’re not so abundant.
    Cheers and thanks,
    Keith.

    I would consider Vibrant Arizona a “fun” one.
    1981 Kodak and Polaroid II are pretty cool. I should give them a go. Thanks for the reminder.

    (Will shoot you an email later today about the lens.)

      Yeah, Vibrant Arizona is another… it’s very popular right now, too.
