We tested 3 of the most popular film stocks from 3 systems so you can see for yourself how each one performs in a large variety of shooting scenarios.
I think this is mainly due to people wanting to capture a timeless style similar to the classic film stocks, leading to the development of many preset systems that try to do just that. You can pull your shadows up in post and you will afford yourself the proper exposure to really showcase those golden tones in the highlights like you see in some of these images.*header image provided by Kyle Wilson of Hinterland Stills The best of film presets from VSCO, Mastin Labs, and Lightroom Zen Why Use Film Presets?įilm presets are hugely popular these days, as the photography community as a whole has largely moved away from the crazy vibrant HDR editing that was all the rage when DSLRs first came out.
I’m certainly not suggesting taking you subjects silhouettes for the sake of a properly exposed sky however maybe leave some room in the highlights by under exposing just a bit….and I mean just a bit. Camera sensors nowadays in my experience tend to handle shadow recovery much easier than highlight recovery. Now I would suggest you do the same with your digital images however instead of metering for the shadows as we do with actual fuji film I would be more concerned about highlight accuracy and shadow recovery. I’ve had other photographers comment that the image is just blown out and while the image may have an over exposed look you must remember that if this was film we would be most likely over exposing a stop or two and scanning for shadow detail. Don’t forget highlight and shadow details either. I’m looking for pastel flares in my specular highlights with the correct amount of haze. I’m looking for a slight brown and creaminess in the background greens, like a sage color. I want my Fuji400H greens to have a pastel but less contrasty and more toned down effect. I’m looking for accurate skin tones and greens.
When I’m dialing in my look I’m concerned about a few different elements which all need to compliment one another to pull off what I’m looking for in an image.
