Gear in this topic: Fujifilm X100VI
It's grey, it's dark before 5 and my X100VI is the only thing keeping me sane! Let's get a winter recipe thread going. Here's mine for overcast days, it warms things up without going orange: Classic Negative, DR200, Highlight -1, Shadow +1, Color -1, Sharpness 0, Noise Reduction -4, Grain Strong Small, Color Chrome Effect Strong, Color Chrome FX Blue Off, WB Daylight R+2 B-3, Clarity 0, ISO Auto up to 6400, exposure comp +1/3.
Post yours! Bonus points if it works under Christmas lights.
saving this. mine for night is basically classic chrome with shadows +2 and grain strong, makes the city look like a 90s movie

I'll allow it but only because it's night. Classic Chrome in daylight is so flat!! Reala Ace or Classic Neg for anything in the sun, I will die on this hill

I shoot raw and edit. Recipes are fine, but everyone's pictures look the same now.
mine on the x100v is acros+R with grain strong. winter is for black and white. thats it thats the recipe. grey sky, wet pavements, done. colour in january is just brown
Here in Madrid the winter is not so grey, we have the hard low sun, so I go the other way, Classic Chrome, Highlight -2, Shadow -1, Color +2, WB Auto R+1 B-1, it keeps the blue sky from going too cyan. In the evening I change only the WB to Daylight with R+2 and it gives the stone of the buildings this warm colour that I love, especially around Plaza Mayor when the lights are on. Vale, I know Classic Chrome is not popular in this thread
Marta that sounds lovely honestly, I'll try it next time we get sun. Which won't be this week, apparently it's raining here for the next five days which never happens!

Print them. A recipe nobody sees on paper is just numbers.
I don't even own a Fuji and I've read this whole thread. the X100VI waiting list is calling me lol. someone stop me. I've got a small-camera-shaped hole in my coat pocket that nothing fills
Nobody in this thread is going to stop you
