IvanYolo Mood: Cinematic, Low-Light, Orange Teal, Fallen Angels Orange Teal Recipe: Teal Obscure is a wonderfully unique and carefully crafted mood recipe inspired by none other than the incredible Wong Kar-Wai's Fallen Angels movie. This recipe was specifically designed for Fujifilm enthusiasts who are looking to capture the moody and atmospheric elements featured in this classic film. The use of teal hues (most probably it's green) throughout the recipe creates a distinctive look that is sure to make your photos stand out from the crowd.With Teal Obscure for all Fujifilm cameras, you'll be able to recreate the same evocative and mysterious vibe that was present in Wong Kar-Wai's masterpiece. Whether you're an experienced photographer or just starting out, this recipe is perfect for experimenting with and exploring the creative possibilities of your Fujifilm camera.

A Little More About Teal Obscure Orange Teal Recipe

Teal Obscure was initially a hidden recipe under the One for the Road B&W recipe for quite some time, but I decided to differentiate it. Teal Obscure is a name with a special significance. This distinctive title was not randomly selected but was thoughtfully and deliberately chosen after much reflection. You see, as the inventor of Teal Obscure, I envisioned a specific orange teal recipe tone that I wanted to attain. However, uncertainties arose as to whether the exact hue I imagined was possible or not. After numerous experiments and tests, I eventually achieved the perfect greenish tone (intended for the teal look) that I had been seeking. From that point forward, the name Teal Obscure symbolized the tenacity and dedication required to achieve that elusive, flawless color. So, while it might appear to be just a name, Teal Obscure carries a much deeper and more significant meaning for its creator. Inspired by some of the most iconic Hong Kong movie classics, I have managed to come up with a variety of recipes that emit vibrant and stunning orange and teal tones. To name a few of my personal favorites, there is the Neon Obscura recipe that evokes a futuristic and sci-fi vibe, the Cine 2046 that portrays a sultry and moody atmosphere, and the Cira 800 that exudes a vintage and retro feel. However, out of all the recipes that I have created, I consider this specific Orange Teal recipe as the most successful Wong Kar-Wai-inspired recipe yet. I cannot wait to see other photographers try it out for themselves and bring their vision to life through this exciting recipe. Utilizing the Eterna film simulation, this recipe generates a comparable Orange Teal tonality reminiscent of movies, particularly excelling in low-light conditions. Additionally, it proves effective for personal creative video production without the need for additional color grading. You might also like: In The Mood For Teal movie recipe based on Teal Obscure

It invites photographers to bring their vision to life through its exciting tones.While efforts are made to avoid duplicating white balance shifts, comparisons between Cira 800 and Teal Obscure reveal unique tonal characteristics in low-light settings. In essence, each recipe brings its own distinctive qualities based on lighting conditions.In parting, the advice is to take it easy with the Orange Teal recipe. Creating the exact perfect Orange Teal tone may be elusive, but the essence is to have fun capturing your shots!

When shooting in bustling city streets, Vivid Obscura brings out the best in your photographs, preserving the essence of the moment with its distinctive visual appeal.The recipe is optimized to perform exceptionally well in urban environments with tungsten lighting. Tungsten lights, commonly found in cityscapes, emit a warm, yellowish glow that adds an extra layer of charm and nostalgia to your images. With Vivid Obscura, the colors come to life, providing a cinematic treatment to your urban street scenes, whether it's the neon signs illuminating a nighttime alley or the sunlight casting intriguing shadows on bustling city streets during the day.

What Vivid Obscura Vintage Film Recipe Is All About?

Based on the Classic Negative film simulation, the Vivid Obscura film recipe is enhanced with the Color Chrome Effect set to Strong, resulting in vibrant and punchy colors that make your images pop. Custom white balance is used for more accurate color representation.

Recommended Shooting Modes

When using the Vivid Obscura film recipe, it is advisable to avoid using spot metering, as it may result in exposure inconsistencies, especially in scenes with high contrast or complex lighting. Spot metering measures the exposure based on a small area of the frame, which may not accurately represent the overall scene. Instead, rely on the camera's multi or evaluative metering mode to achieve reliable and consistent exposures, preserving details in both highlights and shadows.Multi-mode (also known as a matrix or evaluative metering) takes into account various areas of the frame to determine the exposure settings, ensuring a well-balanced exposure across the scene. Aperture Priority mode allows you to set the desired aperture value while the camera automatically adjusts the shutter speed for proper exposure. These modes are particularly effective for street photography, where lighting conditions may vary from one frame to another.For optimal results, we recommend using multi or Aperture Priority mode in your Fujifilm X Series camera, while avoiding spot metering. These shooting techniques, combined with the Vivid Obscura recipe, allow you to focus on composition and capturing the essence of urban street scenes while ensuring consistent and well-balanced exposures.

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.
