Celebratory food for Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year to reign in the year of the Tiger was a relatively subdued one. Its the second year that we’re celebrating with out immediate family in Perth. I took a couple of days off to hang out with family and take a break from a busy start to the year at work.

As usual, my parents put on a bit of a traditional feast of food on Chinese New Eve lunch and dinner. Prayers are also part of the Chinese New Year culture for those who are Taoist and/or Buddhist.

I decided to keep things simple and shoot just JPEG. the film simulation is inspired by Ritchie’s Kodachrome 64 film simulation with some of my own adjustments. It turned out grainer that I anticipated. Still it was fun to just focus on photographing and have no post-processing editing to do! I took the photos with my Fujifilm X-T4 camera with the XF 35mm f1.4 lens.
