This wonderful mural of spawning salmon brightens up an otherwise drab area near the Steveston docks. I used the in-camera Velvia film preset in my Fuji XT20. The image is a little underexposed, perhaps 1/3 of a stop, which would be easy to fix in Lightroom but this is NF-SOOC so....

@maggiemae The film presets can be found in your menu under IQ>Film Simulation. There are several different colour and black & white presets that emulate film made by Fujifilm. To make them easier to access you can program them to a custom button on the back of the camera, which I have done. I chose the Velvia preset for this shot because it over saturates the colours and makes them really vivid. Not what you would want for everyday shooting but for this shot I really wanted the mural to jump out. The fact that the woman who walked into the frame had on a sweater that almost matched the salmon in colour was a lucky bonus.
