Outdoor photographers loved it and seemingly overnight, VELVIA quickly became the favorite film of landscape, nature, travel and adventure shooters everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>VELVIA has a very vivid look. It was my favorite slide film and it\u2019s my favorite film simulation because it delivers colors that are larger than life. It\u2019s not always accurate or nor is it always true to life, but for general outdoor photography, it delivers the intended emotion and confidence of your scenes with a bang.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20697\" src=\"https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/BIK-AK-GLSPNC-01287.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/BIK-AK-GLSPNC-01287.jpg 700w, https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/BIK-AK-GLSPNC-01287-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/BIK-AK-GLSPNC-01287-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17527\" src=\"https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/TAURUS-07230.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/TAURUS-07230.jpg 700w, https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/TAURUS-07230-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/TAURUS-07230-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/TAURUS-07230-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In fact, when designing the original VELVIA color profile, the Fuji color engineers tweaked the color recipe in such a way that it makes images more \u201cmemorable\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Funny thing about the human brain: We often remember things as being more \u201cenhanced\u201d than they really were in real life. That\u2019s just how we work. In fact, if we were to look at a faithfully accurate photo of a memorable scene, we would think it\u2019s \u201cmissing something.\u201d VELVIA plays on this psychological aspect of human memory and helps us create imagery that has a strong impact in the memory of our viewers.<\/p>\n<p>I LOVE VELVIA and I always have, even when I shot it back in my film days. Having bought my first roll of VELVIA back in 1993, I&#8217;ve been shooting those colors for half of my entire life. In that way, those VELVIA colors have been an integral part of my development as a photographer.<\/p>\n<p>VELVIA works for just about anything on bright sunny days: Action, adventure, landscapes, travel, people&#8230; It&#8217;s not so great on cloudy days or for close portraits, especially with darker skin tones.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22865\" src=\"https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/JAN19-01238-e1552594375110.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"466\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>ASTIA<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-23482\" src=\"https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Astia.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"221\" height=\"221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Astia.jpg 701w, https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Astia-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Astia-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Astia-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Astia-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 221px) 100vw, 221px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Based on Fuji\u2019s professional ISO100 color reversal portrait and fashion film, ASTIA does great with skin tones and clothing, which makes it ideal for photographing people outside under natural light. That said, it looks great on any kind of subject, inside and out, because it has great color that doesn\u2019t block up when the contrast of your scene increases.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, ASTIA is my preferred film sim on cloudy days when VELVIA is too contrasty. It\u2019s one of my favorite film sims, and I find it incredibly useful for a variety of subject matter and lighting conditions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23478\" src=\"https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/SCOTLAND17-2-02129A-e1564701164868.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"466\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23479\" src=\"https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/SCOTLAND17-03195-e1564701177390.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"466\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-23477 \" src=\"https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/DSF6416A-e1564701144196.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"570\" height=\"811\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23480\" src=\"https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/BIK-AK-GLKNIK-01787-e1564701356515.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"466\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>CLASSIC CHROME<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-23483\" src=\"https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Kodachrome.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"236\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Kodachrome.jpg 701w, https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Kodachrome-300x267.jpg 300w, https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Kodachrome-600x533.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 236px) 100vw, 236px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Although the Fuji people can\u2019t officially call it as such, Classic Chrome was designed to emulate Kodachrome, the most classic of all film stocks. With the lowest saturation of any of the other film sims, Classic Chrome produces softer colors and gives a wonderful muted look to your images.<\/p>\n<p>At first, Classic Chrome might seem a bit boring, especially when compared to VELVIA, but when you realize what it\u2019s doing, you\u2019ll find that it almost produces a very pleasing, almost monochromatic look, but in color.<\/p>\n<p>The tonality of Classic Chrome is interesting, it\u2019s relatively soft in the highlights and harder in the shadows. This makes it quite usable for shooting under overcast skies. Shadows become a bit more rich, but your brights don\u2019t blow out so easily. You can use this to your advantage in a wide variety of situations.<\/p>\n<p>When you want your story to be about the subject and not the colors, Classic Chrome is a great choice. Think photojournalism, environmental portraiture or street photography. It\u2019s even great for certain landscapes, because when you take\u00a0away bright color, you force your viewer to concentrate on shape and tone and imagine the colors that were present. In that sense, it\u2019s like VELIVA in reverse.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23491\" src=\"https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/BIK-CYCX-AK16-01655-e1564702064465.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"466\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-23489 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG-1-44-e1564701678364.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"466\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23487\" src=\"https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/ADVCA15-NFLD-LAB-4833-e1564701603523.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"466\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23486\" src=\"https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/ADVCA15-NFLD-LAB-4751-e1564701614677.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"466\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23488\" src=\"https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/SCOTLAND18-01609A-e1564701652714.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"466\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>PRO Neg.

It requires a higher degree of processing than regular Monochrome sims, so it\u2019s only found on the newer X Series cameras (X-Pro2, X-T2\/3, X-H1, X100F and X-T20\/30.)<\/p>\n<p>With a tonality curve that\u2019s capable of holding detail in both bright whites and dark shadows, ACROS produces an exceptional level of depth and tonal gradation across the entire image.<\/p>\n<p>It also produces a wonderful, characteristic level of grain that very closely mimics actual film grain. Just like you would see in a black and white print, ACROS has more grain in the darker areas and almost none in the highlights, and it increases in strength as you move up the ISO dial.<\/p>\n<p>At ISO 3200, ACROS looks incredible, with superb tonality and gorgeous, film like grain. At ISO 12800, images still hold up with a surprising amount of detail, and the grain looks just like what you\u2019d see on a print made from Kodak T-MAX 3200.<\/p>\n<p>I absolutely love ACROS. You will too. If you have a newer Fuji, definitely shoot in ACROS mode and don\u2019t be afraid to shoot it any ISO setting. I\u2019ll often shoot ISO 3200 in broad daylight, just so I can get that awesome looking grain. Remember, photography is all about representation and a little bit, or a lot of grain never hurt anyone.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23496\" src=\"https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/AK-AERIAL-TRDRLO-01125A-e1564702493383.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"466\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23497\" src=\"https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/AK-NAT-ANC-SUM-01192-e1564702521543.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"466\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23498\" src=\"https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/GLAC-AK-KNIK-02255-e1564702582740.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"466\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22905\" src=\"https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/FEB19-01033-e1553640282875.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"466\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22319\" src=\"https:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/GSM18-0698-e1541429087597.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>You Should Try Them All<\/h2>\n<p>Although these are my favorites, I use all of the film simulations in my photography, and you should too.
