I think oftentimes the recipes that are more vibrant will do better, so perhaps look for those. I don’t believe any film simulation is inherently “bad” for fall colors, but obviously some are better than others. Classic Chrome and Classic Negative recipes can be good, too. ![]() I think, generally speaking, any recipe that uses Velvia or Astia could be solid options. ![]() There are many that could work well, much more than merely 10. I will miss that this year, for sure.Ī common question I’m asked around the Autumn Equinox is which Film Simulation Recipes are best for photographing fall colors. But I used to live in Utah, and loved watching the autumn colors descend on the Wasatch, beginning at the mountain peaks in late-summer and working their way to the valley by October. Besides, this area isn’t known for its fall colors, anyway. I didn’t notice because I moved to the Phoenix metropolitan area, and in this part of Arizona it is still summer, as far as the weather and trees are concerned. Road Through the Autumn Trees – Bountiful, UT – Fujifilm X100F – VelviaĪutumn officially arrived yesterday. Now, let’s take a look at the seven Film Simulation Recipes that I used to photograph fall colors on my Fujifilm X100V! This process has been a good exercise for me. Also, I really enjoy reviewing all of the photos at once, not knowing how exactly it all went there’s a certain thrill when one is especially great or unexpectedly interesting. Since I don’t know what I’m getting, I try to take a little extra care to ensure that I get it right. ![]() This is intended to replicate a film-like experience, in a way. That means that I don’t know how the pictures turned out until later when I review them. One more note: I used a 5% CineBloom filter with all of these pictures.įor those who don’t know or remember, the way I’m currently using my X100V is the rear LCD is turned off, and the hybrid viewfinder is set to OVF. I’ll discuss each briefly below, providing some thoughts on how well they did. The Recipes that I chose for my C1-C7 are The Rockwell, Kodak Ektar 100, Kodak Portra 400, Reggie’s Portra, CineStill 400D v2, Fujicolor Superia 100, and Fujicolor NPH. I picked seven Film Simulation Recipes-some because I knew they’d do well, and others because I wasn’t sure how they’d do and I wanted to find out. I didn’t go anywhere close to the end, just perhaps a quarter mile down where the thick forest opened to a large meadow, then back to the car as the sun was beginning to dip below the horizon. It was an easy hike, with very short sections that might be considered moderate ( maybe). I had never been on any trails in this area before I saw all of the cars and the many photographers, and just figured I was in the right place. Interestingly, I was looking for the Aspen Loop Nature Trail, but I didn’t quite go far enough, and didn’t realize until later that I wasn’t even on the intended path. The trail is called Aspen Corner Trail, which sits right below the Snowbowl ski resort. ![]() Two days ago I drove up north to the slopes of the San Francisco Peaks just outside of Flagstaff for an autumn hike. The fall foliage in Arizona can be impressive! In autumn, some of these trees change color as the leaves prepare to drop. It’s easy to miss that Arizona has a significant amount of mountainous terrain, with extensive forests and even snow-capped peaks in the winter. When you think of dramatic displays of Autumn colors, you probably don’t think of Arizona.
