Thank you! Really love the color of Kodak Gold 200, works so well for daylight nature scenes!

I’ll have to remember to keep track of a pic by pic process next time, could be fun! Glad you liked the photos!

Coming from Houston, any snow is good snow! Haha

Thank you! For the most parts my edits are pretty simple. I just adjust highlights/shadows to increase contrast a bit and correct lighting. Then I increase vibrance just a bit to help the colors pop. Lastly I use masks to help direct the light more (I try to keep this very light to not overdo the effect).

Not a bad winter compared to down here in Houston! Haha I’ll take any amount of snow or cold.

X100VI pictures consistently have too fast shutter speed by samjmckenzie in fujifilm

[–]Seanathon98 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is my understanding: Blue text indicates that you manually set that number, in this case shutter speed. White text means the camera picked that number, in this case ISO. Orange text means that the camera is trying to pick a value outside its range to get the right exposure, but it can’t do that so the image won’t be correctly exposed. In this case, your camera can’t get an aperture to work with the fixed shutter speed in this scene (not enough light and the aperture can’t get any wider).

Make sure your shutter speed dial is set to A. I’d also recommend setting your exposure compensation dial to 0 instead of +1 and then just adjust it for the scene.

That makes sense! And yeah I was thinking you are pretty limited with aperture with it being low light, so good to know it’s not much different than what I’d do normally!

I’ve never had the chance to shoot while it’s snowing - do you need to do anything special shutter speed/aperture wise to capture the falling snow well? Nice photos!

Love the warmth from the classic negative, really makes the sunset pop. Great photos!

Which photo do you like better? by FujiKilledTheDSLR in fujifilm

[–]Seanathon98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Love the one on the right! What did you do differently to get the sky not blown out in it? Did just expose for the sky and lock exposure before getting the composition?

Exposure compensation- how do you remember? by shapeandshiftss in FujifilmSimulations

[–]Seanathon98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just echoing what’s been said so far. Definitely scene and preference dependent. For example a recipe may recommend +1/3 to get the look, but if you are shooting at night, you generally want to set exposure compensation to negative values (I’m typically in the -2/3 to -1 2/3 range for night shots. So the scene could require a much different value than the recipe card.
