London Trip 2023


Hours from now and I will be in a plane going to London with family.

During this visit I am taking two cameras with me, the Fujifilm X-T30ii and the Nikon S9900 (for its pocket size and zoom), I am thinking to set up the Nikon s9900 for Black and white Photos, were the X-T30ii will be for general and kids photography.

With Fuji X-T30ii I per-set 4 film simulations to use, I take those recipes from the net or FujiXweekly then tweak them to meet my taste. A common change I always doing is to set the:
Grain set to Off,
and Sharpness set to +2 or +3,
also I set the Clarity set to Off so there will not be any delay after taking the shot.

Once I start taking photos I may do some changes and adjustments, so now I will list the film simulation names and later will post the recipes.
1. Kodakporta400.
2. 1970’s.
3. ilford HP5. [B&W i will change the Apatuer if needed]
4. CineStill800T.

M&M’s in Light-Box


In this article I am posting three images for a M&M’s mug to use a Kodakporta400 and ilford film simulation with Fujifilm X-T30ii camera in hand. Also I am posting the outer or say back-stage shot for my Light-Box with LED lighting the subject.

First lit’s see the colored shot using the kodakporta400 film Simulations.

Camera settings: ISO 2000, f 4.5, Focal-Point 34, Shutter speed 1/125s.

Here i use the ilford film Simulations. The setting was: ISO 6400 , f 14 , Focal-Point 34 , Shutter speed 1/125s.

This is the Light-Box studio I am using with an out-source LED lights.

In this shot I just change the light position.

Two Simulations for Fujifilm X-T30ii


Using film Simulations with Fujifilm X-T30ii was important factor that drive me to choose it (Fujifilm X-T30ii) over the Nikon Z FC. Read the full article Here.

In this post I am using Two Film Simulations and posting the result side-by-side. I take the shots indoor with normal room lights and 6400 ISO. I am planning to use those recipes more for outdoor. Lit’s see the photos.

The Simulation here is Kodakporta400, camera in hand. I feel the colors are quite strong.

In this shot I use the ilford hp5, the camera in hand. I like the tone, I think I will use it more in coming days.
