I wanted to share a Fujifilm recipe I've been using for most of my photos — about 90% of the time. I actually came up with it during a trip to Firenze, Italy.
I've been tweaking my in-camera settings since I got my first Fujifilm camera, the X-T20, back in 2017. But when I upgraded to the X-Pro 3 a few years later, I discovered the Classic Negative film simulation and fell in love with it.
The only problem was, it wasn't warm enough for my taste. So after getting inspiration from Fuji X Weekly, I set out to create my own everyday recipe. It took me about a year to get it just right, but I finally nailed it down while I was on a trip in Firenze.
It's been two years since then, and this recipe is still my go-to for both indoor and outdoor shots. I especially love how versatile it is and the way it renders red colors.
