    Full falls this time. I like how the daylite setting in XP4N brought out all sorts of interesting colors in the sky and water.

    That’s a great picture. Great for a vertical scroll.

    That has a really nice vintage postcard look to it @Tarekith. It reminds me of some stuff from the 70's I dug out of a memories bin the other day.

  • I like that one @mikejohn - for some reason the exposure made me think of watching a movie in a theatre.

    Thanks wim .. that daylight filter has become a favorite of mine

  • This is my final attempt with XPAN-Ethereal mode. 😌 If I ever need over-the-top blooming, Neon mode is a much better option. Anyway, here are the shots.

    Thank you! 🤗 BTW, photos are from Rovinj.

  • I really love especially that last one @Luxthor.
    I'm such a sucker for that old-old faded postcard coloring.

    Thank you! 🤗 Yeah, it looks like a washed-up old-school format. The XP4N-Ethereal mode is very difficult to utilize. I ended up with too many undesirable shots. In many cases, the shadows remained too deep, creating unwanted contrast. Just look at this example:

    How it started

    As so often, this started with something I myself really want to have.

    I've been obsessing over the Hasselblad XPAN for a while - a film camera from the 90s, long out of production. It shoots photos in a wide 65x24 aspect ratio (two 35mm frames side by side).

    Thanks to this panoramic format, and pairing it with specific kinds of film it can turn anything you shoot into a movie still. It's instant cinematic bliss.

    Currently, functioning XPANs fetch thousands of euros, even in dodgy condition. So I decided to make an app that gets me as close as possible to the experience.


    How it's going

    Enter XP4N: a simple photography app that does one thing really well: shoot 65x24 photos and simulate 4 film stocks to make any shot look like a movie still.

    Here's an example of an unedited XP4N picture, simulating the popular Cinestill 800T film:

    One of the cool things about Cinestill is its signature "halation" effect, where light reflects back onto the film and creates red/orange halos around the brightest spots in the photo. As can be seen in this photo (also unedited, straight out of XP4N):


    In addition to Cinestill, it also emulates Vision3 250D and the ever popular Portra 400 film for daylight photography.

    And because Apple took its sweet time reviewing the app I also had time to add a B&W emulation while I was waiting. For which I picked the interesting Ilford Ortho Plus film, which is nice and contrasty and has a high sensitivity bias towards blue (meaning blues become brighter, and reds become slightly darker).

    Find out more

    I've written a piece about the how and why of XP4N: Read it here (Medium)

    You can find XP4N on the AppStore for the princely sum of $0.99 if you feel like having a go for yourself (or you could see it as a tip-jar that gives back a neat little app as a thank you ;) ).

    Those rocks look like they are out of this world. 🤩 This location is perfect for exploration in different moods and seasons. Great shots!

    Thank you!! It is indeed. There are red rock formations all along the foot hills near Denver. They are huge. The pictures don’t do them justice. They are surreal.

    Garden of the Gods is another incredible place to the south in Colorado Springs. And Red Rocks amphitheater is a few miles north which is one of the most iconic venues in the world built into these red rocks. It’s where the Beatles played on their first tour in The United States back in 1964. I’m lucky to live here.

    Cheers!

  • Please do the picture smaller. Thanks.

  • When you click on the image, it should open in another tab, zoomed out to fit the window. At least, this works in Safari (desktop). On the smartphone there is no luck anyway. 😅

    We did have a great time. My third visit to Croatia, and it's my favourite country for a holiday. The weather is perfect, the sea is crystal clear, and the people are very friendly and obliging.

    Rocky beaches surrounded by pine trees, my favourite setting for a beach holiday.
