Along The Way

Ticket To Ride

Once in awhile and in this case while waiting for a train that I planned on photographing, I resorted to entertaining myself with my Fujifilm X-E3 mirrorless camera, creating a black and white self-portrait of myself shot with ACROS film simulation set in the camera.

I have always enjoyed black and white photography going as far back as my film camera days, as It has a timeless beauty to it and for some reason it pushes me to focus even harder on light and composition. Those of us who shoot with fujifilm cameras, know Fujifilm’s film simulations are great.

There are actually four different simulations of ACOS in my X-E3, and for this photo I chose ACROS Yellow. The settings I set are as follows.....

DR 200
Grain Off
WB Auto
Highlight +3
Shadows +4
Sharpness +2
Noise Reduction -4

This image is a jPEG straight from the camera, gotta love ACROS film simulations.
