A few street shots from a day out in Windsor, Berkshire, with the Fuji-film X100F…

One hot day today
Fire Ready – Gilbert, AZ – Fujifilm X-E4 – “Soft Cinnamon” Yesterday, I did a photowalk around Gilbert, Arizona, with my Fujifilm X-E4 and Fujinon 27mm f/2.8. Inspired by the Route 66: Sun n Sand Motel — Trying Recipes (That Are Not Mine…) article that I published a couple of days ago, I loaded five Film […]
My Photowalk with YOUR Film Simulation Recipes — FUJI X WEEKLY
Today I was going through my archive of pictures, in total about 12 TB stored, some of which I have never posted. Decided to work on some, maybe 20 and post them on my FB page. After posting I suddenly got a temporary ban for going against FB rules or community standards, whatever they may be as they don’t explain.
These are selection of the images I posted, and as can clearly be seen there are no really suspect images so I can only surmise that it is the actual number of images that brought me foul of the ”LAW”. They fail to say how long I will have to suffer this ”temporary ban” so will have to wait and see.
I have recently rediscoverd my old Fuji X Pro 1, and am enjoying using it again. The colours are lovely and I tend to use JPEG only rather than RAW.
I also like using it to produce BW images, although I usually do that in post.
Phnom Penh is a great city for colourful photography, it’s big, dirty and in your face. Street photography is a pleasure. The people are generally friendly and rarely object to having their picture taken.
Something different is here. This camera turns anticipation into reality. The texture of titanium stimulates your senses, while the unique viewfinder prompts discovery and creativity. It brings back the desire to interact with the world through a camera, while attaining an understanding to record it as your own for eternity. The X-Pro3 is the definition of pure photography.
The X-Pro3 design means you can keep your eyes focussed on the subject while your fingers access the various buttons and dials to ensure that you never miss a perfect photo opportunity. This is the ultimate design for analog camera operation.
From the start, the X Series has made sure to preserve the elegance, beauty and functionality of a camera while making sure we respect the history of photography. Once you pick up this camera, you will feel this and enjoy the sense of nostalgia. The frame of the camera body is made from magnesium, while the top cover and the base plate, which are the parts exposed to the elements are made from corrosion resistant titanium. The unique character of the titanium finish will never be lost. You quickly realize a camera is much more than just a photographic tool.

The hidden LCD encourages a more traditional shooting style, asking photographers to concentrate on composing using the viewfinder. Of course, you can flip open the screen to check your images between shooting sessions, but in essence, the X-Pro3 wants you to trust your instincts as a photographer and shoot without the distraction of checking every image. The LCD screen helps you to adjust the settings and find what needs to be improved, ready for next time.
The LCD screen has an anti-reflective coating, a wide angle of view, and is able to display images with high contrast and natural colors, ideal for reviewing or composing images in bright daylight or low light.
Digitally representation of film based visual effects are something only allowed for iconic photographic equipment. The visual effects appeal to users’ emotions and inspire imagination. The use of Memory LCD means users can easily see the settings for Film Simulation, white balance, etc. when the camera is turned off or on.

FUJIFILM has continued to study color since the production and development of photographic films in 1934. The technologies and experiences, accumulated over the years, have been injected into the Film Simulation modes. Each of the carefully chosen modes has a unique set of colors and tonality to create images that reflect how a photographer felt when taking the picture. The world of extended color expressions including CLASSIC CHROME, ACROS and ETERNA, is now joined by another new mode of Film Simulation.
The new Film Simulation mode has been designed to simulate color negative film that was traditionally chosen for snapshots of everyday scenes. The colors, precisely controlled for each level of brightness, create a rich chromatic contrast to add extra definition. The new “CLASSIC Neg.” takes you back to scenes as you saw them growing up, bringing back the joy of photography.
The X-Pro3 allows you to choose a key color from a matrix of Warm / Cool tones and Magenta / Green hues. You can incorporate the rich gradation into your images to create photographs with a personal twist. Enjoy creating your own monochrome world with added hues, going beyond the traditional approach of using warm tones for a retro look and cool tones for urban snapshots.
I have been using Fujifilm cameras and lenses for some time now and it never ceases to amaze me at their ability to give me great colours with little effort in post-processing.
I can choose from the many film simulation that Fuji supply with the camera or devise my own interpretations of any film or an effect that I find appealing. This is very easy to do.
Humanism in photography is all about images that show empathy and the ability of human beings to empower each other. A photographer who injects humanism into their photos puts the spotlight on human beings. The centre of attention is always the people.
I would consider myself to be a humanist photographer rather than a ”street photographer” although much of my work happens on the street. People, how they live and survive are what really interest me, the feeling of wanting to know or learn about something or someone.
Humanism, a rationalist outlook or system of thought attaching prime importance to human rather than divine or supernatural matters.
