Thommy’s Ektachrome — Fujifilm X-T5 (X-Trans V) Film Simulation Recipe
Thommy’s Ektachrome Film Simulation Recipe was created by Thomas Schwab, who has made a number of Recipes published on this website, including Pure Negative, Superia Xtra 400, Fujicolor NPS 160 Pulled, Urban Vintage Chrome, Kodachrome II, Kodak Portra 800 v2, Kodak Brilliance, Classic Monochrome, B&W Superia, and Monochrome Kodachrome. Thomas has also collaborated on other Recipes, playing an important role in getting them right, including Kodak Portra…
DPReview is Dead
It’s been widely reported that DPReview is closing down on April 10th. This is huge news! Not only is DPReview one of the oldest photography websites—first launched in 1998 when digital photography was a small niche—but it is one of the most popular. Its closure was a shock to me, and it probably was for…
Summer of 1960 — Fujifilm X-T5 (X-Trans V) Film Simulation Recipe
I love Arizona Highways magazine! When I was a kid, my grandparents, who lived in Arizona, would give me their old copies of the publication. The pictures were always amazing. I didn’t know it at the time, but that simple act had a profound impact on my life. Eventually I would become a photographer, and…
Using AI to Create Film Simulation Recipes + Urban Dreams X100V (X-Trans IV) Film Simulation Recipe
Can you use Artificial Intelligence to create Film Simulation Recipes for Fujifilm cameras? Does AI even know what that is? If so, would those Recipes be any good? Those questions and more have been rattling around inside my head for the last few months. Back in January I asked Open AI’s Chat GPT what a…
New Fujifilm X-Trans II FXW App Patron Early-Access Film Simulation Recipe: PROvia
Omar Gonzalez posted a hilarious YouTube video called Do You Suffer from Fujifilm Sim Depression?, which is a parody of pharmaceutical commercials, except that it’s about Fujifilm film simulations and not prescription drugs. It’s incredibly well done and funny! I don’t want to spoil it if you haven’t watched it, but the conclusion is that…
Fujifilm X-Trans II Film Simulation Recipe: Provia Negative
Unlike most Film Simulation Recipes, I didn’t model this one after any film or process. My first thought was this: how can I make a Recipe that’s helpful. Let me back this up a minute. Unless your camera is an X-Pro3 or newer, you cannot save a white balance shift with your C1-C7 custom presets;…
Street Photography with my Fujifilm X100V + 4 Film Simulation Recipes
First, before we get into this article, I’ve got to apologize to you all. You see, I went out of town, and I didn’t answer any comments or emails while gone. I just didn’t have time. Sorry. Last night I returned back home, so I’ll try to catch up on all of that over the…
Introducing Classic DigiCam
I’ve been secretly working on a little side camera project. It’s just for fun—nothing too serious—but I’ve enjoyed it a lot so far. What is it? The answer might surprise you. Let me introduce you to Classic DigiCam, a celebration of the nostalgia of retro digital photography. Specifically, it’s about old digital pocket point-and-shoot cameras,…
Creative Collective 043: Dreamy Light (The Cheap & Easy Way)
Dreamy light is all the rage right now. Maybe it has been for awhile, but it is definitely something that photographers are seeking right now. But how does one achieve it? Vintage lenses. Diffusion filters. Scratching a UV filter. Those can work. How about these: shooting through an optical viewfinder, oiling a filter, or using…
How to Solve Fujifilm’s Cam Remote App Not Connecting to iPhone
I posted a comical Reel on my Instagram account about the much maligned Fujifilm Cam Remote App, and it clearly struck a nerve. Between all of the social media accounts where I posted the short video, I had over 3,000 reactions (hearts, thumbs up, etc., etc.) and about 350 comments, which is a lot more…
