The Recipes
Left side is the unprocessed RAW default, right side is the recipe applied in-camera. No Lightroom. No edits.
My everyday default. Classic Chrome with deep shadows and subtle red/blue shifts for a timeless, film-like quality. Not a true Leica color clone - you can't really replicate that - but close enough in spirit to earn the name. Works on practically every situation.
Kodak Portra style. Where Leica X runs cooler with its blue push, Street Pro pulls the blue way down and warms everything up. Classic Neg. gives it something nostalgic - images look like memories. Together with Leica X, these two cover almost everything.
A specialist recipe. The 5500K white balance pushes the image into richer greens, and Pro Neg. Hi adds a hint of nostalgia without muddying the tones. Temples surrounded by jungle, misty mountain paths, dense foliage with buildings and texture - when the scene is right, this recipe shines.
This recipe lives for artificial light. Classic Neg. with a hard blue push darkens the shadows, cranks up the colors, and shoves the entire image into a neon-soaked nocturnal atmosphere. Night markets, cityscapes after dark, neon-lit streets - everything becomes electric.
Pure nostalgia. Ultra warm at 6050K, blue pulled out, red pushed in - everything shifts into golden territory. The trick: it looks like a faded vintage photo without actually being faded. The shadows stay present, keeping contrast alive. Old buildings, desert roads, Route 66.
A triple whammy: Velvia as the most saturated film simulation Fuji offers, Color +2 on top, and Color Chrome FX Blue on Strong. The scene needs existing bold color for this to work - on neutral subjects it just looks wrong. But for street art, murals, and vibrant markets, nothing else comes close.
Unapologetically hard black and white. ACROS with a Red filter, shadows pulled down until they crush to pure black. That's the point - if something is deep in shadow, it's gone. Needs bright days with strong contrast or street scenes where people in light become islands of brightness.
