Model Kim Jay shot on a 1984 Nikonos V with Portra 800 film.

First frame is Tmax 100 with orange 16 filter. Other two are Acros 100 with no filter.

More scenes from our very private, clothing discouraged pool during a very hot summer. Shot on a 1985 underwater film camera, in case you're curious.

We've really enjoyed the long weekend and taking photos in the pool. Very relaxing.

A small set from a much larger series.

We also used the public onsen (hot spring baths) in our ryokan hotel, but obviously no photos from there. We enjoyed both so much. I cannot tell you how relaxing it is. If you ever get the chance to visit an onsen, do so.

The two detail shots are on the Contax RX. The rest are from the Makina.

Long story short - I've done this before and knew it was a bad idea. For some reason HP5 looks like 24-grit sandpaper underwater. A little grain is good, but HP5 goes completely insane underwater.

I think it's because underwater is pretty low contrast. HP5 is low contrast too. Add the two together and you get no contrast. Then you expand the contrast in post and the grain gets expanded too.

Tmax 400 is the way forever more.
