I’ve been working on my own recipe for the Fujifilm X-series camera and finally got to use it in its intended environment…bright beach vibey scenes. I took a recent trip to Key Largo, Florida and was able to run the recipe in various scenarios. I wanted something to bring forth that summer vibe and what better place to test it than the Florida Keys? This sample gallery includes a selection of images ranging from sailing, to kayaking, some random street shots, sunsets, and a few pics of Key West. Overall, I think I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. I think it worked well in its intended settings and I’m looking forward to trying it out around town for the remainder of the summer.

As I was looking for a recipe that I could use on a trip to St. Augustine, which happens to be the oldest city in the US, I stumbled upon Superia Summer. This is actually a recipe for the X-Trans IV sensor so it wouldn’t look 100% accurate on the X-1H anyway, but I still liked it. However, it was missing just a little bit of that nostalgia. I started playing around with other film sims and, as much as some might say it’s overused, Classic Chrome really seemed to give it more of a vintage feel. I’ve provided a before/after comparison for your review. Take a look at the yellow tint that Classic Chrome gives to the grass, for example. The only difference between the two is the base simulation. Unfortunately, the X-H1 doesn’t have the Classic Negative simulation, so the before shot is using Pro Negative Std. I’d love to know what you think. July 8 UpdateI made the trip to St. Augustine today despite the heat. I made sure to duck into the AC every once in a while so it wasn’t so bad, to be honest. I spent a lot of time and about 200 shots […]
