Met\u00f3da pokusov a\u00a0omylov<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Andyho prv\u00e9 pokusy o fotografovanie krajiny neboli pod\u013ea jeho vlastn\u00fdch slov nijako zvl\u00e1\u0161\u0165 dobr\u00e9. No namiesto toho, aby ho to odradilo, za\u010dal ho fascinova\u0165 proces zis\u0165ovania, \u010do rob\u00ed niektor\u00e9 fotografie lep\u0161\u00edmi ne\u017e in\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201ePam\u00e4t\u00e1m si, ako sme si ako deti br\u00e1vali na dovolenku kinofilmov\u00fd fotoapar\u00e1t. Ke\u010f ste si dali vyvola\u0165 fotografie, zvyklo sa hovori\u0165: \u201eT\u00e1to vy\u0161la dobre, t\u00e1to nevy\u0161la.\u201c \u201eAle nikdy som sa nep\u00fdtal, \u010do to znamen\u00e1,\u201c spom\u00edna Andy. \u201e\u010co to znamen\u00e1, ke\u010f fotografia vyjde alebo nevyjde \u2013 a pre\u010do sa to st\u00e1va? \u010co sp\u00f4sobilo, \u017ee bola neostr\u00e1 alebo \u017ee bola prep\u00e1len\u00e1 expoz\u00edcia?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201eZa\u010dal som to sk\u00fama\u0165 a sna\u017eil som sa zisti\u0165, pre\u010do sa mi niektor\u00e9 fotografie p\u00e1\u010dili, zatia\u013e \u010do in\u00e9 boli hrozn\u00e9, tak\u017ee som sa pridal k niektor\u00fdm z prv\u00fdch online fotografick\u00fdch komun\u00edt.

To je kone\u010dn\u00fd cie\u013e ka\u017edej fotografie, najm\u00e4 pri fotografovan\u00ed krajiny.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m not a stickler for technical perfection. I used to worry a lot about clipping highlights and things like that, but as you get more confident in your photography you learn to lean into imperfections,\u201d Andy suggests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFor example, I might be shooting a scene where nothing is happening in the sky. In a lot of places I work, like Namibia, the skies are usually very empty. That means it\u2019s fundamentally not an interesting element in the photograph,\u201d he notes. \u201cWhat you can do there is lean into blowing the sky out, to make it white and hazy instead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n While technical aspects can be pulled around and played with, Andy believes you can\u2019t compromise on a strong composition. \u201cThe composition has to feel harmonious,\u201d he asserts. \u201cThere are all kinds of rules for composition, but what they come down to at the end of the day is creating something with visual balance. There must be harmony in the way the different elements fit together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Z\u00e1sadnej\u0161\u00edm aspektom skvelej fotografie \u2013 no \u0165a\u017e\u0161ie definovate\u013en\u00fdm \u2013 je n\u00e1lada. \u201eRozdiel medzi dobrou a vynikaj\u00facou fotografiou je pr\u00e1ve v n\u00e1lade,\u201c pokra\u010duje Andy. \u201eNa to potrebujete spr\u00e1vne podmienky, \u010do znamen\u00e1, \u017ee je v tom aj prvok \u0161\u0165astia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201eAko som napredoval, nau\u010dil som sa vyrovna\u0165 so zl\u00fdm po\u010das\u00edm a ploch\u00fdm svetlom, aby som na\u0161iel alebo vytvoril n\u00e1ladu \u2013 \u010di u\u017e podexponovan\u00edm alebo n\u00e1sledn\u00fdm spracovan\u00edm, aby som dosiahol vy\u0161\u0161iu \u00farove\u0148 kontrastu.

The process was an exploration of tension that blended Velvia\u2019s vibrancy with a softer, more subtle mood to create images that feel beautiful and impactful. The result is a genuinely personal take on color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dominic admits that he used to despise the beach, associating it with hot sand and long family car rides. But that changed when a 1940s-era beach cottage joined his family, providing a foundation for a relationship with the ocean. It was there that his love for surfing began. \u201cOnce I stood on a surfboard for the first time, I never looked back,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yet, it wasn\u2019t until he was 26 years old that a camera found its way into his hands. With a bit of money saved and a few weeks to spare before starting a master\u2019s program, he walked into a camera store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dominic began documenting surf photography, and a chance encounter at a local longboard contest led to a sponsorship for a waterproof housing. Suddenly, he was in the water, creating the perspectives he had grown up romanticizing in magazines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI remember the first session I swam out with my camera; I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll ever forget it,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dominic\u2019s creative style has an appreciation for color, so he was excited to build a FS RECIPE from Velvia\u2019s base with X-E5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While he was confident that it would work perfectly for landscapes, he was curious to see how it would render the blues of the ocean. His goal was to balance the Film Simulation\u2019s intensity with a gentle touch, letting its personality shine through without creating an \u2018overcooked\u2019 image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He describes his FS RECIPE choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTo bring a bit of softness to an image that I expected to have stronger contrast than I\u2019m used to, I knew I wanted to reduce the CLARITY in my FS RECIPE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI lifted the blacks just a touch to really lean into that softness, sort of working in tension with Velvia\u2019s character.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, he reduced the overall saturation slightly while adding a strong COLOR CHROME EFFECT for the blues. The aim was to create a FS RECIPE that was \u2018subtle yet steadfast in its impact\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dominic views his finished photos as a kind of Trojan horse, \u2018being pretty and easy on the eyes at first, but unleashing something with a bit more impact once we\u2019ve softened enough to receive it\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Creating a finished look in-camera was an engaging and freeing experience for Dominic. \u201cAs soon as I decided on my FS RECIPE, I made sure my camera was only making a single image at a time,\u201d he notes, compared to his usual burst mode preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The entire process, the feel of the camera, the view through the EVF, and his custom FS RECIPE encouraged him to slow down and be intentional with his composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This approach stands in contrast to his typical workflow of creating with RAW files and pulling details from the shadows in post-production. Dominic found the process of creating a straight-out-of-camera image he was happy with \u2018really liberating\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI love editing, but it was nice just to transfer a photo to my phone wirelessly and have it ready to go,\u201d he says. It\u2019s a method Dominic sees lending itself to photojournalism, travel, and even providing real-time turnaround at competitions using X-E5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What keeps Dominic inspired is a perspective that life and art are a \u2018conversation with the unseen and unknowable\u2019. For him, every moment is an expression of something flowing through us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dominic\u2019s goal is not just to make a picture, but \u2018to create imagery which will somehow translate the ineffable and transcend our concepts of self, to strike us deeply at our core\u2019. The only way to achieve that, he believes, is to continue the dialogue with nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s what keeps him going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By taking the legendary look of Velvia and carefully molding it to fit his vision, Dominic crafted a look uniquely his. Creating a finished image directly in-camera gave him the freedom to stay in the moment and focus on the story he wanted to tell, one frame at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n FILM SIMULAITON: <\/strong>Velvia FS RECIPE for rich, impactful results in the outdoors For traveling outdoor photographer Dominic Stone, photography is a way to \u2018engage with the mystery of life\u2019 that surrounds him.

When Fujifilm brought it into the digital age, I was hooked all over again. The colors still had that punch, the contrast still had that drama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But Velvia is a strong character. Left untamed, it can run away with your highlights, sink your shadows, and push colors a little too far. I wanted to keep its soul but give it a touch of restraint, something I could trust in any light, from the quiet countryside to the vibrant streets of the Philippines. That is how \u201cKanto Khromatiks\u201d came to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The name comes from two words: kanto<\/em>, the Filipino word for \u201cstreet corner,\u201d and Khromatics<\/em>, meaning \u201ccolors.\u201d Together, it means \u201cstreet corner colors,\u201d a nod to the life, movement, and vibrance you find in everyday scenes, whether it is a busy market, a quiet alley, or the glow of streetlights at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I keep the Film Simulation on Velvia with DYNAMIC RANGE on AUTO. Highlights are pulled GRAIN EFFECT is WEAK and SMALL, just enough to whisper back to my film days without getting in the way. COLOR CHROME EFFECT and COLOR CHROME FX BLUE are both on WEAK, keeping the colors full but not heavy-handed. WHITE BALANCE stays on AUTO, as Fujifilm gets it right more often than not, whether I am in midday sun, shade, or under warm caf\u00e9 lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Out in the field, this setup keeps Velvia\u2019s drama but reins it in just enough. Midday shots hold detail in the highlights. Golden hour turns the skies deep and painterly while the greens stay rich. At night, high ISO paired with that subtle grain gives me clean, cinematic frames without harsh noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The result is still Velvia: bold, colorful, alive, but with a balance that makes it work anywhere. From bustling street markets to quiet coastal roads, \u201cKanto Khromatiks\u201d carries the same magic I fell in love with decades ago, now with the control I have learned to appreciate over the years<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKanto Khromatiks\u201d: My Velvia FS RECIPE I\u2019ve been shooting long enough to remember Velvia in its original form, a roll of film with colors so rich and saturated it could make a cloudy day look like a postcard.
