I love this particular topic being a Fujifilm photographer thinking about shooting with film again. Thanks Kyle! I've been binge-watching your channel the last few days. Learning so much from you in both photography & filmmaking! Your filmmaking skills are top-notch!
Thanks so much, Sarah. I really appreciate the support. 🙏
Another Fuji shooter here that recently has bought Kiev-60 and waiting for it to come back from the service.
Hi there. Just wanted to thank you for this great video. RUclips is filled with thousands of tutorials, but it's actually pretty rare to discover one where the photographer actually describes what he/she is really going for and how to achieve it.
Thanks, David! Glad you found this helpful.
Hey Kyle,
Always love it when I stumble upon a channel that is worth a good binge watch, yours is definitely that. Would love to see a BTS of your filmmaking process and how you think about storytelling. Your talent with a video camera is quite evident.
Cheers,
Tim
Hey Tim, thanks man. Really appreciate that! I'll likely do a BTS at some point in the future.
Just purchased an XPro2 after shooting exclusively film for about 3 years. I still love the analogue process but was feeling the strain of the cost of upkeep. This is exactly what I was looking for as a part of me feels kinda guilty that I “caved” and got a digital camera haha. Really loved this content, thank you!
Thanks Sam. Loving the Fuji cameras so far!
Watching the video a second time! Those images look so great. The edit seems so simple... yet it just looks right!
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome tutorial, you have a natural teaching style, best I've come across in Photography on RUclips. Pace is great and loved understanding what's behind your process to achieve the consistent style of image. I learnt a lot. Thanks!! 📸
Thanks Jenn! I appreciate you watching this one.
this is the video i never knew i needed
Exposure X6 has some nice Film conversations. Organic grain that really looks like the one on my film negatives. As a plus for a Xe2 shooter with no access to Acros, they offer it + the ability to have Fuji film simulations on my Canon and Sony.
Another incredible video. As someone who has been shooting Fuji for years I love that you’re shooting fuji too AND you’ve got a great workflow for editing Fuji files. I’m surprised and stoked to see our workflows are pretty similar! Great job, man.
Thanks man! I can see the Fuji being part of my kit for a long time.
The difference in perspective between the 67 and Fuji is pretty crazy. The Fuji looks really nice for digital too
thank you for sharing! I stopped shooting digital in color because I was never happy with the results; your files though look so close to Portra, it’s pretty amazing! I’ll still keep shooting film meterless because of the experience and output but definitely will keep this in mind when editing my files
Thanks Daniel. Been really happy with this camera so far and the look I’m getting from it.
Beautiful images. Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing your process. Very inspiring and helpful!
I LOVE working with film cameras and selecting film. But as much as I do, realizing that film is a revenue stream for gelatin products, albeit a small one, I decided to stop shooting film.
Fuji provides the closest experience to film I've found and I love it.
Yessss!!!! Dude, I absolutely love your videos!
Thanks Emmanuel. 🙏
I do enjoy editing my digital photos quite flat. Thanks for the video!!
So helpful thanks Kyle. Recently got a 50r so I’m just embarking on editing Fuji in LR.
Loved this !!! Reallyyyy itching to switch to Fuji
Trust me, you won't regret it.
Thanks Brielle. Been loving the X100F so far.
You definetley edit your digital images to look like they are shot on film, and you do it fantastically, very skilled with luminance and colour :D
Thanks, Filip!
Great stuff. No other brand is more accessible and usable for pro work with the “film look”. Fujifilm really owns this segment and I hope to see more film simulations like classic negative in the future.
Thanks Israel.
Great video, only just bought my first Fuji after years of shooting Canon. Keep up the great work 📸
Thanks for watching, Ed.
I can relate to this. I shot a lot of pushed Trix and naturally whenever I process digital files into BW then end up looking 90 to 95% like Trix would.
Ralph Cedric Basco I do the same, I even made my own preset in my xt30 called “tri-x pushed” :)
Hi Kyle, excellent video. You can also process raw files using fuji's x raw studio which does it in in camera with the camera attached to your pc. It also allows you to do shadow and highlight adjustments, sharpness, grain effect etc. This gives you the actual fuji simulation rather than the lightroom interpretation
But this processing in camera will result in a jpeg, right? Which you then have to edit like you would normally do with the raw? (Cropping, straighten, etc.) But editing a jpeg is not the best thing to do. Perhaps I misunderstood?
@@peterjan7878 Yes, the end result is a jpeg but you are effectively editing a raw file in camera and more often than not you end up with a jpeg that requires minimal adjustment in lightroom. If you make big color adjustments to a jpeg you can end up with issues such as banding so if you want to heavily manipulate a file I would do it on a raw file
@@pracman61 I think so too. Jpeg is 8 bits right?
Perhaps a way to do serious work on the generated jpeg file is to save the jpeg as 16 bits tiff first and then work on the tiff file instead of the jpeg?
Can you do raw+jpeg?
@@Alxndrzlkrnn sure.
Very useful content on post processing and love the images.
I see Ansel Adams is helping you out there in a very practical way. 🤣
Great images! I want a Fuji camera. I'm going to buy the X100V when it's released.
Thank you.
Really interesting video. I've enjoyed the posts about this particular project of yours, Kyle. I shoot film almost exclusively, but have recently purchased a second hand Fuji x100 (the original model). It's really super and I'm enjoying using it immensely. It's interesting watching this as you go for a consistent look between film and digital, and what the basis of the process is for that when working with the images shot on the Fuji. It's also great to hear photographers talk about their images and the reasons for the tweaks being done in post, etc. Thanks for posting. Cheers
Matt L it’s interesting to see how many film photographers find Fuji x series compelling. I shoot on a mamiya rz67 and a linhof large format camera, and noticed that I never picked up my Sony unless it was for work. I decided to switch to a Fuji camera, and it’s amazing to finally feel like I want to grab it every time I leave the house. Im sure the form factor has a lot to do with it, but those film simulations make it so much fun too.
@@shannonpalmer Based purely on a personal level, I would agree with that. The x100 line seems to transcend the boundary pretty perfectly.
That's awesome Matt! Glad you enjoyed this one. Thanks for watching.
Amazing piece of content! As if it has been tailored for me, I have a Fuji X100F and I have just bought my first film camera and shot 3 rolls of Potra that haven’t been developed yet. I have been intending to do what you exactly did in video and try to mimic the film look on my Fuji! Amazing man you just saved me sometime :) i have been following you on instagram and i was amazed on how consistent your digital shots was compared to the pentax .. once again thanks man for the amazing video!
Awesome, glad this helps! I'm sure you'll love the Fuji. Cheers.
Desk Set-up and Camera Set-up tour videos are relatively popular right now, any chance you'll put one together? I'd love to know a little more about what's on your desk and what you're using on your X100F! Love the video, man! Keep shooting!
Thanks Luke. I'll keep that in mind for the future. Cheers.
Great video! The content tastes good 😊💪
I’m very impressed by the highlights roll off of the digital Fuji files 😲 no use of diffusion filter? Wow
Also no use of the curves in LR is actually interesting, I usually do a lot there.
Good work buddy!
Cheers
This is my main camera :) absolutely love it. Great video as always.
Thanks, Carl.
Thanks Kyle, I've been waiting for this!
I've watched this video a few times, always enjoyable... I'm just beginning to delve into the in camera film simulations for my fuji to try and dial in some film looks straight out of camera. I'm super impressed with the results of the kodachrome and portra recipes i've tried thus far from fujixweekly, and enjoying cutting down on the post processing.
Just wondered if you've ever tried any of these in camera 'film recipes', shooting jpg+raw as you'd still have your current editing process as backup? Thanks, keep up the awesome work!
Thanks Stephen. I haven't tried any of those yet. I've been pretty happy with this process that I have.
Thanks for this video Kyle!
Please put your pics into a book! I’ll buy it! Great video! Your inspiring me to shoot the same style! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Kelly. That's the plan in the near future.
Greatly appreciate the video Kyle, so interesting and informative! :)
Thanks. Glad you found it helpful!
Another great video, you definitely deserve more exposure
Thanks, I appreciate that. Just having fun doing it, no expectations.
Kyle McDougall that’s the way to do it. Having fun brings great content. Like I told you last time. I’m trying myself to prepare some content for a future channel but not easy to be in front of the camera
Before: reality. After: dream.
Another interesting video, thanks for sharing! Well done. Beautiful images.
Thanks for watching . :)
Quality work and Fascinating cheers 👍
So amazing! Thanks for making this!
Thanks!
The Master Ansel Adams book as a prop up stand,,, wow
😂
Do you have an updated video on how you edit?
You can get some film-like looks that you might appreciate in-camera using different JPEG "recipes". Check it out here: fujixweekly.com/recipes/ . BTW, I loved the X100V Route 66 video!
Only drawback about shooting with a digital Fuji is that when reviewing a shot, the LCD will display or apply the film simulation over the file, even if you shot RAW only. I know most camera companies do apply some enhancements to what is shown on the LCD / EVF, but I find that Fuji’s is rather pronounced. Any way to turn off this feature, or film simulation settings to be more RAW-like?
nice mac setup
Great video! that was very useful, thank you. Can you maybe do a similar video in the future where you edit in the same style but without the film simulations as a base? since a lot of photographers might not have access to those exact presets so it would be interesting to see how you approach replicating that foundation.
Thanks Hayder. I’ll definitely keep that in mind for the future.
Thanks for sharing!
Good stuff. I feel the same way about my film and digital process so I subscribed :)
Thanks, Richard.
Really nice work. Thanks for the tutorial. I had some nice “light and airy” type results with my iPhone and Lightroom mobile by doing something similar: sunny daylight, exposure up, warm it up etc.
Just a question though - if the Classic Chrome’s lack of saturation was holding you back for the night shots but it had the right colour base, why didn’t you use that as a base then give it a slight saturation boost? Maybe you already tried it and didn’t like the results?
I'm actually not a big fan of 'Classic chrome's' look for twilight stuff. I find it takes the warmth out of the twilight colours and pushes them to teal/cyan (which I love for my daylight stuff).
Kyle McDougall fair enough :)
Great images! What are your thoughts on using a black promist filter on your Fuji?
Funny enough, that's what my next video is about.
Inspirational
Hi Kyle, thanks for the video. I'm often in the situation you're in since I shoot both with my Bronica ETRSi (usually Fuji Pro400H) and with my X-T1. I edit my Fuji RAW files in ACR and I do as well start my editing with the Chrome profile for daylight shots. One thing you didn't mention is the method of sharpening you apply to both your film and digital files because certainly sharpening too can drastically affect the look of the image. I think I saw as you were quickly scrolling up and down in the develop panel that you apply a little bit of sharpening in Lightroom. Are you sharpen your digital files even more later in photoshop after being converted as TIFFs or are you content with the initial sharpening in the RAW file? And how do you sharpen your scans? I guess not in scanner but later in PS. However I have found that the Smart Sharpening filter in PS doesn't work well with scanned files and instead I use the High Pass filter which I find that has a more tactile effect. Do you agree? What's your method?
All depends on the output, really. For digital files output for web use, I don't usually do any sharpening other than the default settings in LR. And the 'Sharpen for screen, on low' during export. For printing I'll do a few different things. If you watch my prepping images for print video I go over that. For film scans it all depends as well. Lab scans are usually pretty sharp if it's medium format, for home scans I usually have to apply a lot of sharpening, both in LR, and then later in PS.
Awe yea, new McDougall video 😎
Quality stuff there bud.
Thank you.
Thanks Kyle for the process! Are your Lightroom preset for Fujifilm still available somewhere?
Nice video Kyle. I’m a film shooter who bought a Fuji X-T30 just a few weeks ago, so your video came a just the right time. Thinking about trying to match the files to my favorite film, T-Max 400. I don’t use Lightroom, but heard great things about Capture One pro, especially the grain simulation. Grain is probably a bit more pronounced in (35mm) TMY than your 120 colour neg film, but what’s your opinion on the simulated grain in your images? Have you tried C1 pro?
Thanks Tim. I haven’t tried C1 Pro yet. LR has been working just fine for me so that’s what I stick with. As for the simulated grain, I’ve been happy with the settings so far that I showed in this video. I’d probably tweak a bit when I go to print, but fairly happy overall with the LR simulations.
5:00 The built-in film simulations that Adobe has here are unfortunately not the original ones from Fuji. If you want to have the right ones you have to use capture one and not the adobe thriftshop versions.
Good to know, thanks. Although personally, I find the ones in LR just fine so far. I'll have to download C1 and compare.
I don't get why people talk down Adobe when it comes to the Fuji sims. I've used both C1 and Lightroom and while Lightroom isn't there 100% it certainly is close enough. I don't necessarily think the difference matters when you're going to be manipulating the RAW file anyways
@@chickenpasta7359 As Kyle said he always uses classic chrome during the day and at dusk Provia. If you forgot to change the simulation now or just want to see how the other simulations react to it you're out of luck in lightroom. Pepsi is also not Coca Cola. If Pepsi is enough for someone then I will not judge.
Really excellent. I am fully in line with you.
I have a problème : I cannot open RAF files with LR : how do you do or ? Thanks
Stéphane Dubarry (from France)
do you leave the sharpening by default? at 40?
Thank you so much for your video! Really love your colour work! Am a big fan of warm tones as well! Do you do any work to the tone curve? :)
Thanks. Usually no work to the tone curve. Just what you see in this video.
Kyle McDougall Alright thank you so much! 😊
Super surprised that you didn't use the Tone Curve at all! I suppose that would just add unnecessary contrast and colors to your images and lose a bit of that film look?
Kyle, for a non-Fuji file, would you prefer to edit in Adobe Standard or Adobe Color? Thanks for the video.
Hey Herick, not too sure about that one. I’d just use whatever looks like better starting point to your eyes.
@@KyleMcDougall thank you, Kyle!
Yeah boss👌🏻
Were the film vs. digital images taken at the same aperture and processed with the same sharpness? Comparing the .RAF in photo 1 and the .TIF in photo 2, the Wrong Way sign in photo 2 is sharper and apparently bokeh in photo 1. Fantastic photos of these abandoned places and video!
Thanks Bryan. Not too sure about the aperture settings. Same default sharpness in LR for both. Although the scans definitely had some sharpening done at the lab it looks like.
Hi Kyle! Having used both the X100V and X100F, would you recommend one over the other considering the price difference between them?
Hey Sarah, depends what type of work you're doing. The F is still a great camera, and for the work I do, it's great. The V is a little sharper wide open and at close focusing distances.
@@KyleMcDougall - Loving my X100!!
the editor on windows 10 would be all you need
Most of these things you can do in camera, and then you dont have to fix it afterwards.
Do you set the white balance in the Fuji to auto?
quick video, then proceed to create a 26.5 mins video haha. Nice video btw, enjoyed it!
Haha, yeah, have a tendency to say that and then just ramble on. 😄
my man!
So you shot it at standard in camera?
I used the classic chrome in camera, but only for preview as I was shooting RAW.
Excellent. Have one question - do you ever use a polariser for skies?
Not usually, no.
Show us how to achieve this with a recipe or in camera please. #SOOC
Working on it.
@@KyleMcDougall Legend. Soon to buy an X100V
What laptop do you recommend for photo editing on a moderate price
Hey Joe, I'm not that up to date with current offerings. I just use a 2016 Macbook Pro 15", and I love it.
@@KyleMcDougall great ty
What software do you use in editing your photos?
People say capture one for fuji does better job with color profiles.
I've heard that a few times now. Will have to try it at some point. But I'm definitely happy with the LR results I'm getting.
You should make lightroom preset film pack.
Feel like that would be tough to do just based on how I edit different lighting condition. I could always make one as a starting point for people and just link it up for free download. If that helps.
@@KyleMcDougall That would be awesome man! Would be nice to include DNG file for lightroom mobile users to just copy settings
Of course man! Your channel inspired me to go out and shoot in a different way, so much so I started a new IG page (@EmmanuelDriveIn) with a southwestern theme to it. I also want to start making videos about my adventures here too!. Just wanted to say thanks for sharing the secrets. It rekindled my love for photographing the Southwest. I am extremely thankful. 🤙🤙🤙
Amazing! Love to hear that. Thanks for watching and keep on creating. :)
nice video
Kyle, do you scan your film yourself? If not, do you mind me asking where you get it done? I have a lot of 6x7cm and 4x5" film that I am behind on having scanned. I haven't been happy with the scans on my Epson V750 Pro scanner; they are fine for web usage but not for printing. David
I go back and forth between scanning myself and getting a lab to do it. I enjoy the control that I have myself, but I don't enjoy the amount of time it takes, and also the fact that a flatbed scanner can struggle at times depending on the size of the negative as well as the density. For the most part, I'll be sticking with a lab. I use a lab in Toronto right now, but have been happy with scans from The Find Lab.
@@KyleMcDougall Thank you, I'll give them a try!
Whats the point of editing both photo digitally ? There Is no film inside a LCD screen or in Photoshop
What?
📸🎬🎥
Hi. Sorry if this has been answered already, can you tell me what 4k monitor you're using. I have to purchase a monitor and would like some advice. I do have a budget and would like to stay under $400 if possible.
My main monitor in this setup is only a QHD, 2k. It's a BenQ PD3200Q. Great monitor, and personally I prefer 2k for photo editing, or retina. I also own the 5K LG, but run it in retina mode.
@@KyleMcDougall Thanks so much. would you mind elaborating on why you prefer 2k? That may help me a great deal, being on a budget and all.
hi, i recently bought an xpro 1 and can’t figure out how to get my flash photos to match my contax g2 flash photos. you have any tips on that? thank you!
Hey there, sorry, don’t have any experience using flash on the G2.
You didn't ask me, but using flash on film in general I find it's really hard to blow my highlights even if I over light. That kind of look where there's "too much" flash but it hold the highlight detail might be kind of impossible to replicate on digital in a way that's satisfying. Not sure if this helps.
If I'm right and that's what you're trying to do, I'd underexposure or expose "correctly" on the Fuji with flash and pull up the highlights and mids a bit in post. Again, I don't shoot digital very much and might be misunderstanding your question.
I've only ever used studio strobe with pocket wizards with my g1 where I totally obsessed over exposure settings way too much... Which is to say that my flash objectives are probably different from yours.
may i know, what lens you attach on that fuji?
It’s a fixed lens on this camera. 23mm f2.
Hey Kyle!
I’ve been following your work for some time on Instagram, it’s great stuff!
How do you get the Fuji profiles on Lightroom? I would really like to try that chrome look.
Thanks Dan! The Fuji profiles will show up automatically if you’re using RAF files.
What chair do you sit in sir?
It’s from IKEA.
Nice images but both look too light for my tastes
what a film simulation to take the pictures and are u shot in RAW or what ??
Yes, these were RAW. Are you curious if I used a film simulation to take the picture?
@@KyleMcDougall I know that RAW files in Fuji can be read in Adobe Lightroom, but I can't get pictures like yours
i like all of your work, and i use fuji too.
I am from Indonesia and here it is difficult to get objects like you take the pictures
.
great work kyle
"quick video"? ma to 26 minut vole :D
whats a quick tv show?
Where can I develop and scan film?
What country do you live in? I can give some recommendations once I know.
Kyle McDougall I'm in the New York area.
