Neon Obscura

The Neon Obscura cinematic film recipe is an exceptional choice for those seeking a perfect blend of cinematic effects while shooting at night. The recipe is derived from one of the most reliable Fujifilm recipes and also from one of the Japanese film-like recipes, which has undergone extensive fine-tuning and re-evaluation to achieve the exact perfect blend of settings. Based on the Classic Negative film simulation, the Neon Obscura recipe has been designed to deliver an amazing array of visual effects that heighten the overall appeal of your film.

Unique adjustments have been made, with a particular focus on white balance settings, which help to bring out the true beauty of your images. Whether you’re a fan of the portrait or street photography, this recipe is guaranteed to get you stunning visuals even in low-light situations.

Sometimes, the film grain settings may be too dominant for night shoots. I would recommend adjusting it to small/weak or turning it off completely for smoother images. It ultimately depends on what effect you want to achieve. Do you want a vintage look? Then maximize the film grain to strong! There are no hard and fast rules when shooting with the Neon Obscura.

Most of the sample images were shot with the SIRUI Sniper 23mm f1.2, which has an inherent cine lens from the SIRUI Nightwalker. I like how cinematic these images look at night. If you are trying to achieve this kind of feel in your night scenes, Neon Obscura is the best choice.

Neon Obscura is a highly versatile and dynamic artistic medium that truly comes to life in the presence of specific lighting conditions. To fully experience the vibrant and captivating displays offered by Neon Obscura, it is important to consider the type of lighting that will be used in the space. For optimal results, Neon Obscura works best when under white tungsten lighting or colorful neon lights.
