Getting My Hands Dirty with Fast Film
Okay, so first things first, this ain’t my first rodeo with Lightroom presets. No siree! Over the years, I’ve had my fair share of dalliances with the whole kit and caboodle. From “Vivid Visions” to “Soft Sepia,” you name it, I’ve tried it. So, when I stumbled upon “Fast Film,” honestly, I was skeptical. But, boy, did this little number prove me wrong!
Picture this – it’s a sweltering Sunday afternoon, the cicadas are singing their little hearts out, and I’m holed up indoors, trying to figure out a way to make my road trip snaps pop. Frustrated? You bet. My wife, bless her, tried cheering me up with a cup of my favorite Earl Grey (British spelling for my UK pals out there!), but to no avail.
“Fast Film” to the Rescue!
Just when I was about to throw in the towel, there it was – “Fast Film,” glinting like a diamond in the rough amidst the wilderness of mediocre presets. A freebie, yet its promise was tempting. As a seasoned SEO specialist and part-time photography enthusiast, I thought, “What’s the harm in giving it a whirl?” So, I hit the download button and let the magic happen.
The moment I applied “Fast Film” to my lackluster snaps, it was like opening a window and letting in a gust of fresh air. The colors danced, the contrasts deepened, and the details sharpened – it was just like those classic film stock photos I grew up admiring. The feelings it stirred were simply sublime. I mean, who knew a click could make such a difference!
Now, let me tell you this straight up. I’m a sucker for all things vintage. And “Fast Film”? Well, it tickles my fancy like nothing else. Suddenly, my road trip snaps were oozing that delicious old-school charm, all thanks to this Lightroom superstar.
When “Fast Film” Became My Go-To

Be it beach sunsets or rustic landscapes, this Lightroom preset lifts every shot to a whole new level. And the best part? It doesn’t oversaturate or manipulate the integrity of your original shot, just gives it a lil’ pick-me-up.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I ain’t saying “Fast Film” is the be-all and end-all of Lightroom presets. But from where I’m sitting, it’s a pretty solid choice, especially for us film stock enthusiasts.
Mixing it Up with Fast Film
Alright, now here’s a fun fact for y’all. Did you know that you can also adjust the intensity of the “Fast Film” preset? Yessiree! If you’re feeling adventurous, you can play around with the settings till you hit that sweet spot. It’s like having a retro dial, where you can switch from ‘slightly nostalgic’ to ‘full-blown time warp’
Finally, My Two Cents on “Fast Film”
Well, folks, that’s all she wrote. In closing, I gotta say – “Fast Film” is one helluva preset. It’s taken me down memory lane, brought my photos to life, and reminded me of the beauty of classic film stock – all without burning a hole in my pocket! So, if you’re looking to jazz up your photos with a hint of nostalgia, “Fast Film” might just be the ticket.
No, it ain’t perfect. Sometimes, the colors might be a smidge too vibrant, or the contrast a tad too stark. But hey, isn’t that the beauty of it all? (You can always adjust the preset slider – see image above) It’s got character, it’s got charm, and it’s got a knack for turning ordinary snaps into frame-worthy masterpieces.
Thanks a bunch for reading, folks. Remember, in the grand world of photography, the sky’s the limit! Until next time, keep snapping and keep exploring. Cheers! 👋
A Whisker of Fast Film Trivia
Okay, here goes – the term “fast film” in traditional photography refers to film with a high ISO rating. The higher the ISO, the more sensitive the film is to light, hence the name “fast.” Such films were used in low light conditions or to capture fast-moving objects.
