I shoot both raw and jpeg but I can't tell you when I last looked . Was 2019 for sure.

Loving the jpeg photos, and glad you've finally discovered some of the recipes and various sites! I love using my recipes and having that minimal friction with my jpeg shooting.

This was awesome! I especially love the part of you and Elly dancing at your table on the rooftop bar, mixed with the music… such a vibe 😌

Your happy mood does translate to the beautiful photos you've taken. I prefer these JPEGs photos. Really nice!

Thank you! Definitely feeling the upward trend in mood and inspiration!

Recipes are the goat! I have recently fallen back in love with my XT3 thanks to the Fuji X Weekly app. My camera now stays on my hip at all times🤘🏼

jpeg-only is an amazing way to work - for many reasons - regardless of the camera. I do it exclusively.

Loving the London vibes Joe. Good beer and warm sunshine = good times! I must admit I have been enjoying shooting JPEG's with my X-S10 recently. Classic Chrome & Classic Neg are great for particular mood shots. I also shot RAW, then edited them in-camera just to experiment with settings which was fun.

You can see the pure joy in your face and body language, it be really brought my mood up. Thanks Ellie for push Joe out, I loved this vlog. My husband and I hope to be able to cross paths with you one day, y’all are an inspiration!

Your "renewal" has been fun to experience. Thanks for taking us along!

Loving the Happy mood on your guy’s faces in this vlog! Photos are beautiful as always and it feels like we just spent the day out shooting with you! Love it ;) thx Joe

This was amazing. I wish you’d leave the photos up just a tad longer because I paused your video like 400 times to admire each shot hahahaha

Getting out, taking pictures, sharing the experience with someone special = wonderful!! Thanks for a great vlog.

I must say that as a Fuji photographer I love your videos, style and you’re such an inspiration. For that thank you 🙏🏻. But as a music KZreadr I really have to comment your music choices. They’re marvelous. So calming but awesome. Love it 😍

every time I see your video, it always makes me want to go outside and take photos nonstop. your photos inspired me a lot

Such good vibes on this one! Keep up the great work Joe

Thank you Elly for taking Joe out ❤️😂 This video brightened my day, thanks to both of you 😊

My favorite film simulation is definitely Eterna. I tweaked it to have more contrast but what I like is that it conserves the dynamic range and has very soft tones with natural colors. Just a slightly warmer white balance and.. Perfect.

I really enjoyed your laid back video of enjoying taking pictures. I think you really nailed it: There's so much joy in shooting Fujifilm jpegs with a limited number of film emulation presets to chose from on-the-fly and quickly sharing your images vs. spending time post-processing raw files all the time. As others have pointed out, not having to have post-processing power handy all the time is also a big boost to having fun. I don't think I'll ever shoot jpegs only; you never know when that one shot turns out to be significant after the fact.

Very interesting and I now have a new place to eat on my bucket list for this year. Thanks Joe and Elly. Happy New Year for 2022.

Really enjoyed this, and a massive thanks to you both, and good for you Elly, your made for each other, all the best.

Thanks to your music selection, I can listen to a new playlist while slaving away at work. Thanks, good man!

I really liked the more off the cuff, natural vibe on this one. Does not always need to be mega-polished & to "script", this was more natural feeling and just great.

I find the highlight bloom and colour x contrast problem is usually air pollution hazing the light. I had a huge problem with it during my lockdown summer in Kyoto. Kyoto is a natural haze basin, surrounded by mountains with very little breeze to clear it away. I imagine London is similar with the building density. The air is rarely clean without some kind of typhoon to clean it up. Tokyo has a heat dissipation problem so the architecture and urban planning is built around throughlines for wind to clear out the micro climate.

Enjoyed this quite a bit!

Your vlog always inspiring me. Thank you Joe for doing these 🙏

I've only just moved to a Fujifilm x-t2 from Canon and I'm loving the film sims. I've always shot raw and edited in LR, but I'm loving taking snaps and beaming them straight to my phone to post. I've not really explored the film sims too deeply, but I definitely plan on spending the next month shooting only Jpeg and playing with some of the recipes I've found.

Damn, the shots are looking beautiful af

Glad you liked the suggestion, Cheers mate !

Im with you. I realized shooting raw with Fuji has diminishing returns for my work. Im not a professional, just a tourist.

I'm really enjoying your Vlogs. So much inspiration. The view from the London Bridge Rooftop is phenomenal as well as the photos you took there! I'm really looking forward to your next video!

I enjoyed this very much Joe! Welcome to the underground! Film simulation recipes are do fun! Elly is the best/cutest! Loved your simulation! Thank you for sharing this! 🙏🏽

Going to give classic negative go on my X100V! Another great video, Joe and Elly! Enjoying these a lot 📸

It's beautiful in London right now! We walked the south bank for a whole day and it was so much fun! Loving your ideas and images, and maybe we'll see you next time when we're in London, cheers!

Thanks. Really enjoying the new videos. I use the 16-80mm on my X-T3: for me it's an excellent all round lens.

Nice presentation! Thanks

I cant believe this is jpeg, so crisp very nice photos

Love these Joe, absolutely fantastic shots and results from a JPEG! Have you ever considered trying 35mm film? A different but exciting process again!

Great video Joe!! For folks that dont have an X-T4, the X-T3 doesnt have the Color Chrome FX Blue setting. So you will need to play around with the recipe a little to get an equivalent recipe for X-T3 users.

Your channel is definitely lifting up my moods as well, thank you very much indeed ;-)

I left raw behind when I switched to Fuji. Take the picture, get the JPG. Onward and upward. I don't make money from my photos. I'm a dad and a hobbyist. And Fuji's jpg output is superb.

Knowing first hand the weather in London, good job getting these shots lol!

Great video, as always. If I had the opportunity to add one thing to your videos, it would be to include your settings and lens below each photo. I use your videos for a bit of inspiration before I go shooting a lot of the time and it would be so nice to be able to see your aperture etc. Thanks for the content mate. Always love your stuff.

Another awesome vlog!! I’m going to recreate your recipe and try some JPEGs this weekend!!

It's refreshing shooting JPGS

awesome spot man! London is such a cool city

Good Morning from New Zealand, thanks for your Great Just Jpegs Video Thanks for sharing , Have a great week

Such a great video, beautiful captures, and wonderful inspiration. It's been a while since my family and I have been back to London, and this just makes me miss it more. This is such an interesting and refreshing challenge, especially in a time where "shooting RAW and editing" had become such an ingrained process... Just for clarification: When you are "shooting in JPEG", you are simply setting the camera to a desired/tweaked "profile", and then just shooting. Correct? Normally, when shooting in RAW, the "picture profile" settings don't get baked into the file image, correct? So when shooting in RAW, the picture profile settings and colors are baked into the image as is. Am I understanding this correctly? Thanks.

Lr CC in the cloud and Capture One on the desk, the best of two worlds!

@@bioliv1 No clue who he is, I had to Google him. I don't follow photographers and just do my own thing. I realised a long time ago that for me sitting in front of Lightroom wasn't fun and swapped to Fujifilm for the jepg output. Ditched my dSLR gear and its awful jpegs and have never touched LR since.

Great photographs. Super duper great

I have this sim. loaded on both my X100V and Pro3 and like the images SOOC. Thanks to you both....

Yours was one of the first photography blogs that I got into with your Tokyo journeys. I was inspired to buy the Fuji X100F as a result. Loved that camera. Loved the film simulations. Subsequently, I have moved onto a Sony a6600 which gives me the flexibility of interchangeable lenses but I do miss the Fuji colours. Is there a way to replicate the Fuji colour science in a Sony to give similar results? You take wonderful images by the way!

Currently trying to shoot my X100V using Optical view finder only and LCD off (no chimping). I only see my images when I'm home. It makes it quite exciting... like collecting your 6x4 prints back in the day. Also loving film sim Xpro'62 from Fuji X Weekly.

I’ve been shooting JPEGs on my XT1 for seven years and smiling the whole way. I’ve shot a few experimental RAWs along the way, but not more than 100. The rest are JPG. I’m about half way through my shutter’s life-expectancy so it’s a lot of JPGs. Thankfully, JPG storage is also better. Before XT1, I used to upgrade body every 2nd generation. But XT1 definitely deserves the cult following it is getting lately. I may have to upgrade to XT4 soon because some of the dials are starting to be stiff and make poor contact. I had service only once so far because the rubber cladding came unglued. On XT4, I’m looking forward to shooting more RAWs and using Fuji X RAW Studio to use the camera to convert them. Unfortunately, the XT1 isn’t supported by this brilliant software.

Great Vlog, Joe! Your video also has a great color which I think is more pleasing to my eyes than Fuji's Jpeg. Could you tell me which gear did you use to shoot this video?

6:14 that is a lovely shot!

After having used Classic Negative for a while, I got tired of it and now back to Classic Chrome and Eterna and happy again. X100v and almost jpeg only.

Enjoyed it! Wish I could join you too! You gave me a good mood! 😀

And this is the sole reason why Fuji are very unique compared to other camera brands despite the facts of having less specs written in textbooks.

Great video - very inspirational. Checking out my simulations on the XT-4 as I write this. Keep up the good work!

Just wish I could get classic negative on my XT3

Unfortunately classic neg isn’t on my xt3 but I do love using classic chrome as the base to my film simulations! A warmer white balance on CC is my favorite.

Thanks for the classic chrome/negative comparison at 13:37. I have an x-t3 so don't have the latter. I thought in your example at 13:37 that classic negative has higher contrast ... the opposite of what you said. In classic negative, he shadows under the bridge were darker and the person there under the sidewalk was less visible. The green on the trees is a cooler darker green (I prefer). The highlights on the side of the bridge were brighter. Mid tones and highlights were warmer. Reds and oranges stand out a bit more. I do like that better. I heard someone else comment that cneg was better only in good lighting and am curious if you agree on that last part.

Hey Joe, what do you think about doing a 1, 5, 10 minute(s) photography challenge at a specific small location (small street, marketplace etc.) like Pierre T. Lambert does on his KZread channel?

Those images looks great! That recipe looks great! Definitely I'll try that! One question I have that I cannot figure out using film recipes for Joe and everyone. I usually use the EVF like you and the Preview WB/EXP On. As most recipes I like add a lot of Shadows, the image I see before I take gmtha photo is really dark, and I ended up guessing the exposure. Is that something I'm doing wrong? Or I shouldn't use the PREVIEW WB/EXP ON? Thanks a lot!
