Top 5 Most Popular Fujifilm Recipes Ever

0:00 Hi, my name's Ross. I'm a lazy photographer from Northern Ireland. Lazy because over the last number of years, I've been hunting for a way to get great looking images straight out of my camera without the need for editing. Recently, I've had the most success doing just that with my Lumix cameras and I've put a lot of time into designing LUTs and LUX, all with the goal of never needing to edit a photograph ever again. Before that, however, I was mostly shooting with Fujifilm cameras and designing Fujifilm recipes, which some of you might have seen floating around. It was about four years ago that I made my first recipe called Soft Chrome. And after that, I kind of got addicted to making recipes, making loads and loads and loads and sticking them on my website for everyone to enjoy. I get recipe recommendation requests like all the time, pretty much every day. But recently a friend asked me what some of

0:49 my most popular recipes were and I literally didn't know. So I dipped into the back end of my website to have a look and see what some of the most popular recipes that I've created were. The results of this actually surprised me. So I thought I would make this video to fill you in on my top five most popular Fujifilm recipes ever. If you're into shooting Fujifilm recipes, some of these you might be familiar with, but others maybe not so much. So take a look. Okay, so the most viewed recipe on my website and sliding into the top position is a recipe I created called Daily Astia. And like the name suggests, this recipe was designed for everyday use.

1:40 Something I found when trying out Fujifilm recipes from other photographers for the first time was that most recipes can only be used in super specific scenarios and lighting conditions. I designed Daily Astia to work in a wide variety of settings with an auto white balance and a slight warm push. This recipe produces crisp contrasted images with rich saturated colors. There's a little sharpness, a lot of clarity and color turned all the way up. It really packs a punch and makes use of the beautiful film simulation Astia, which by the way is one of my favorite

2:26 film simulations too. If you're shooting with this one, my advice would be to keep one eye on your exposure as the dynamic range is set to the lowest. Your highlights can start to blow out, so as long as you keep your highlights in the right spot, everything else will fall into place. And the number two spot is nurture nature. And funnily enough, this recipe is also designed to be super versatile and work in a whole range of different scenarios. Nurture Nature has a base film simulation of Provia, which is Fujifilm's standard color profile. And like the name suggests, this recipe will work best when you're out shooting in nature, so lakes and forests

3:14 and woodlands and mountains and beaches and all that sort of stuff. It has medium contrast, medium saturation, medium dynamic range. The white balance is set at auto again for flexibility. And the best thing about this recipe is that the clarity setting is set at zero. So there's no like processing delay lag when you're shooting with it. It's warm, sharp and delicious. And when I was shooting more with my Fujifilm camera, this recipe was always like my go to for any scenario. The third most popular Fujifilm recipe according to my website

4:02 really was a surprise to me. It's fruit pastel, a recipe and maybe the only recipe I ever designed with a base film simulation of velvia. Velvia is Fujifilm's vivid color profile and honestly the colors have always been a little bit too intense for me so I wanted to design a recipe that would tame this film simulation and Fruit Pastel was born. Like the two recipes already mentioned, Brit Pastel can be used in a wide variety of situations and lighting scenarios. It has an auto white balance, medium dynamic range, zero clarity, so no

4:48 lag, and the contrast is softened with a minus two shadow setting. It's a bit different from a lot of other recipes out there, and I think that's why it's been so popular this year. So why don't you go and check it out for yourself? My fourth most popular Fujifilm recipe is a bit more experimental than the others. It's called Canned Heat and it gets its name from its extreme warm white balance push. I sort of made this recipe by

5:36 accident and forgot about it and then a year later I rediscovered it, put it out and I didn't think it would be as well received as it was. The beauty of this recipe comes from its classic negative film simulation face. Clarity turned all the way up for punch, a huge warm white balance push controlled with a negative color setting. Canned heat has kind of become my Fujifilm teal and orange

6:25 look and I secretly love it. It won't work in every scenario but pull this recipe out in like sunrise or sunset and not only will this recipe bring the heat but it'll also bring a healthy dose of magic to your images. The last recipe in my top five most popular list is one I designed to replicate the look of my film scans after shooting Lomography Color -800 with my Yashica Electro 35 GTN. The recipe is aptly named Lomo 800 Electro and it has a classic chrome base which pretty quickly and pretty accurately match the colors. coming from my

7:13 Lumography 800 film scans. It has a DR setting of 200, a push in the color and the contrast and to match the look coming from my 35mm film camera, I turned the clarity and the sharpness all the way down. Again, this is a recipe that has a white balance setting of auto for flexibility. Because I was trying to accurately match my film scans with this recipe, I've listed three different options for pushing the white balance. One for overcast, one for shade and one for sun. So take your pick when shooting with it.
