My Favourite Fujifilm JPEG Recipe
Over the last few months I been wanting to make one default go to Fuji JPEG recipe that I can use anytime and anywhere. After much trial and error, I have put together that recipe and have been using it on and off whenever I wanted to shoot JPEGs.
This recipe will require the Nostalgic Negative simulation. I believe all of the latest generation Fuji cameras have that, however I’m not sure on older models. Also this simulation works well in bright environments and is perfect for summer. I’m not yet sure how it will work on a cold rainy January night. Below are the settings and after that are some sample photos.
