Not Feeling GASsy

Crave – Or, Camera Envy (Fuji X Weekly)

With so many different drool inducing cameras coming out, it’s easy to get camera envy and want them all. It’s hard to be content with gear that’s a couple of years old. It’s difficult to not be jealous of what others have. Just remember that the cameras you currently own are more than capable of capturing great pictures. Don’t get caught up in the trap of always having the best or most recent of anything. It’s always more about the person using the camera than the camera itself. Use what you have to the best of your abilities, and you’ll surprise yourself with the images that you’ll create.

I’m excited about the flurry of new gear but strangely ... I feel content with my Fuji X-T2. I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything. Except ... perhaps, I want an X100F.

Fujifilm X-Pro2 Kodachrome II Film Simulation Recipe

My Fujifilm X-Pro2 Kodachrome II Film Simulation Recipe by Ritchie Roesch (Fuji X Weekly)

I believe that Haas, Ghirri and Eggleston continued to use Kodachrome even beyond 1974 when the new version came out, but it seems they used it less extensively, especially Eggleston, who became known for his work with color negatives. Still, each of these three photographers captured some of their most recognizable images on the second era of Kodachrome. And that’s the look that the film simulation recipe below is based on.

Yet another excellent film simulation recipe with which I can experiment to create one for my X-T2. Thank you, Ritchie! The following images were hurriedly taken short after reading this article. I apologize for the banality of the subject material.

Vintage Classic Chrome and Vintage Kodachrome Film Simulation Recipes by Ritchie Roesch

Posted on 8th September 201810th November 2019 by Khürt Williams

I have been shooting using the defaults on my Fujifilm X-T2 and getting good results. However, I want to shorten the path between the defaults, experimentation, and finding my own settings. I discovered Ritchie Roesch’s website via a Google search for “Classic Chrome Film Simulation Recipes”. Ritchie has created an incredible set of recipes for…

Setting up the Fujifilm X100F for Street Photography (Ian MacDonald Photography)

I’ve had a lot of requests over the last few weeks to describe the camera settings I use when I am out shooting on the street, so I thought I would take a few minutes to walk through how I set up the new Fuji X100F.

Fuji X100F ACROS Settings

Fuji X100F: My Go-To ACROS Settings (The Broketographers)

I've always shot almost entirely JPEG on all of my Fuji cameras over the years; mostly because the JPEGs look so good straight out of camera, that I don't usually have to do much (if any) editing, and also because the small Fuji cameras I've owned over the years have been more "walkaround" cameras.
