Carbon Obscura - Moody Recipe For Fujifilm X-T4

Fujifilm X-Trans IV Recipe for Melancholy Streets & Portraits

Mood: Dark, Melancholy Here is one of the second Obscura recipes as promised which is called Carbon Obscura after successfully testing Vision Obscura with a few photographer friends of mine. This recipe is specially created for creative moody portraits and street photography. This might not be an ideal recipe for everyone because it will work only under certain lighting conditions and locations. Well, just under certain conditions such as shooting downtown with buildings or backgrounds with dark colours will make this recipe shine!

What Is Carbon Obscura Recipe All About?

The melancholy colour tone is inspired by one of the music videos titled "When The Wind Blows" performed by one of the SNSD girls group, Yoona. I understand that it might be a lot difficult to imitate colours in music videos due to the usage of colour grading. The process of this recipe creation have turned out to be unexpected and find it quite nice. This moody recipe is created using the Classic Negative film simulation. It is fine-tuned using the Kelvin temperature that blends with a blue and yellow tone to simulate a green overlay over the dark areas and is meant for dayligh Anything that is black will be slightly cast in green colour. Some might find it similar to the muted Tokyo Dream recipe but Carbon Obscura has a slightly warm tone and look more saturated.This might not be everyone's cup of tea, but why not try something new and different? The blue and yellow white balance mixture with the Kelvin temperature is what makes the Obscura recipes for Fujifilm cameras stand out from the other Fujifilm simulation recipes I've created so far.

* The Best Way To Shoot With Carbon Obscura

This recipe is known to be shot with a background with dark areas, you can also use the exposure compensation dial to underexpose or overexpose your shots. It is excellent for shooting portraits in the downtown areas, the city centre with buildings or dark backgrounds will work great. Custom adjustments have been made to the white balance shift and Kelvin's white balance, making this Carbon Obscura recipe so moody.All the streets and portrait sample photos below are shot with the Fujifilm X-T4 and will work for the Fujifilm X-Trans IV sensor cameras including the X100V, X-T4, X-T30II, X-E4, X-S10, and X-Pro3. Let's have fun and shoot! Stay tuned for the next one if you love one of these Obscura recipes.

Vision Obscura - Kodak Vision3 250D Fuji Recipe

Vision ObscurɅ Kodak Vision3 250D Fuji Recipe

Fujifilm X-Trans IV Motion Picture Film Recipe - Version I

Mood: Warm, Modern Classic, Urban, Cityscapes Obscura sounds like dark magic used by Doctor Strange or a mysterious movie title name but it is actually one of my latest Fujifilm film simulation recipes which are named 'Vision Obscura'. This recipe is inspired by the 35mm motion picture film, Kodak Vision3 250D and can be used for streets including travel, cityscapes and street photography. I'm sure you might find a lot of interesting and weird film simulation recipes here on this blog with different tones compared to other sites.The name Obscura used for this recipe came from the camera obscura, which is a type of camera that uses a hole in the wall to project an image onto a screen. This type of the camera was first invented in the 16th century and has been used for photography ever since. Camera obscura photos are often considered to be some of the best because they capture the true depth and perspective of an image.

What Is Vision Obscura Film Recipe All About?

Vision Obscura is inspired by the Kodak Vision3 250D / Eastman 5207 and uses the Classic Chrome film simulation to simulate the motion picture film stock. Honestly speaking, it is not possible to mimic a film stock with 100% accuracy. This film recipe is created and took hours of work to fine-tune based on the sample photos. This film recipe uses the custom Kelvin white balance to add some warm tone similar to the motion picture film stock and blends with a slight blue and green white balance shift.I get some feedback and requests from Fujifilm shooters who have tried out a few of the Fujifilm SOOC recipes but some might not have the latest film simulations such as the 'Classic Negative' or 'Eterna Bleach Bypass' on older Fujifilm X Series cameras. So, I've decided to create Classic Chrome film simulation recipes instead.

* The Best Way To Shoot With Vision Obscura

It is recommended to shoot during the daytime as if you are travelling, doing street photography in bright sunlight to get the tone out of this film recipe. This film recipe works for Fujifilm X-Trans 4 sensor cameras including the X-T4, X-T30II, X-T30, X-E4, X-S10, and X-Pro3 just to name a few. For older Fujifilm X-Trans III sensor cameras, you can still try and use this recipe to see what it looks like.It is optional to use a diffusion filter to add a more film-look effect and glows to the highlights, you can kickstart with a lower density diffusion filter and see how it will look. This recipe is ideal for shooting under harsh sunlight or shooting light & shadow to obtain a lively colour tone or colour "pop," based on test shots and feedback from one of my friends.

Final Thoughts

This will be the first version of Vision Obscura and there will be different versions of Obscura recipes released in the future. I guess you will love and enjoy shooting with Vision Obscura. Based on the name itself, you might find it more enjoyable when shooting by looking at the viewfinder. This film recipe is tested with different Fujifilm cameras, thanks to the contributions of a few Fujifilm shooters who are interested to try out the recipe beforehand.Hopefully, this Vision Obscura can be your one of your weekly recipes when you're out on the weekends for a nice stroll around the city while travelling or shooting street photography.I would like to thank Alvin Herp from Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam who has been contributing the photos and trying out this film recipe. Alvin has submitted a few Vision Obscura sample photos which were shot using the Fujifilm X-100V with Cinebloom 10% density diffusion filter.You can check out their featured sample photos along with individual Instagram links to view more of their photography work below.

Boudoir Chrome - Fujifilm X-Trans 4 SOOC Boudoir Recipe

Boudoir Chrome

Fujifilm X-Trans IV SOOC Boudoir Recipe

Mood: Dreamy, High Contrast, Moody, Dramatic If you own a Fujifilm mirrorless camera and enjoy boudoir photography and want to shoot SOOC with little retouching, this film's custom settings may be for you. The Boudoir Chrome is an indoor boudoir portraits recipe which works well with indoor natural or artificial lighting such as studio lights. This special recipe works great if you would like to shoot and get instant results by playing around with the lighting to create the 'light and shadow' mood for the boudoir.Boudoir Chrome is created based on Classic Chrome and further adjustment has been made to the film simulation settings to match for creative boudoir portraits shoot. I'm not an expert in boudoir shoots but this recipe gets a first-hand compliment for giving the mood and sensual feel of a boudoir. Boudoir photography is a great way to boost the model's confidence and feel empowered.Plus, it's a lot of fun for both the photographer and model because there are many creative ways to explore boudoir photography. The recipe gives a high contrast chrome tone with a heavy shadow look because this type of photoshoot required good lighting to create the mood. Boudoir Chrome is created during my second sensual boudoir photoshoot with Yumiko which was shot under indoor natural light and the use of a studio strobe.Most of my images are shot straight out of the camera with the Fujifilm X-T4, Fujinon XF35mm F2 R WR, Viltrox 56mm F1.4 and didn't go through any editing software so I think this recipe is good for Fuji shooters who would like to shoot boudoir in SOOC too. A diffusion filter can be used along with this recipe to create a dreamy boudoir look and the grain setting has been turned off to retain a clean image.You can easily access the menu on the camera and store the film recipe in the custom settings menu. This recipe works for all newer Fujifilm X-Trans IV sensor cameras including the Fujifilm X-T4, X-E4, X-T30II, X-Pro3 & X-100V models.
