Carbon Obscura – Moody Recipe For Fujifilm X-T4

The melancholy colour tone is inspired by one of the music videos titled “When The Wind Blows” performed by one of the SNSD girls group, Yoona. I understand that it might be difficult to imitate colours in music videos due to the usage of colour grading. The process of this recipe creation has turned out to be unexpected and I find it quite lovely. This moody recipe is created using the Classic Negative film simulation. It is fine-tuned using the Kelvin temperature that blends with a blue and yellow tone to simulate a green overlay over the dark areas and is meant for daylight. Anything black will be slightly cast in green colour. Some might find it similar to the muted Tokyo Dream recipe but Carbon Obscura has a slightly warm tone and looks more saturated.

This might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but why not try something new and different? The blue and yellow-white balance mixture with the Kelvin temperature is what makes the Obscura recipes for Fujifilm cameras stand out from the other Fujifilm simulation recipes I’ve created so far.
