Sunny Jim

As I’m writing this Spring has sprung and so I have been out with my Fujifilm camera a lot shooting the sun hitting the flowers and buds and leaves etc. Last year I created ‘Nurture Nature’ (see above) a Provia based recipe which has been my go to for everything, especially nature. That being said however recently I’ve been craving even more colour, contrast and warmth from my nature JPEGs, so I decided to do something about it and create a whole new recipe dedicated to capturing nature in all it’s glory.

’Sunny Jim’ is a warm, heavily contrasted, Astia based recipe and I’ve been so happy with the results it’s spitting out. It has quite a strong WB shift to the heat but by keeping the Color setting at 0 it doesn’t push it too far. Just far enough. Again this recipe has a Clarity setting of 0 so it’s a real pleasure to shoot with when you’re walking about.

I’m yet to test this recipe on people and skin tones etc. but I’m sure it would be lovely. Maybe someone out there can let me know…
