OCOLOY Week 39
Sunday 6th of December 2015
I said last week that I was going to think about using a ‘Fuji Neopan 1600’ emulation for processing this week’s pictures. I decided to go ahead with this, and quite early on realised it’d mean having to keep it in mind when shooting, as it has a particular contrast and colour response that’s quite… ‘opinionated’.

Sidenote: I’m still using Capture One 8 for my pictures, but I’m trying out Robert Boyer’s B&W film presets , specifically Tri-X …
