All of the pictures were shot by me, except the ones of me which friends of mine have sent me. I work with a Nikonos-V with a Sea&Sea 15mm lens. The sunset was shot with a standard 35mm for the Nikonos. I also work with a Nikon FM2 most of the time above the water. I use different film for different subjucts. I mostly use slide film underwater because you get what you shoot. With print film you have someone putting filters over your film to make it look like what they think it should look like, and they may not be a diver. I like Kodak film better than Fujij film for underwater work. Fujij has more of a green filter in it , it is good for pictures of grass and trees. Kodak on the other hand has a blue filter in it's Ektachrome Slide film which helps with blue water. Kodak's Kodachrome has red and yellow filters but is generaly slower film, but gives great reds and yellows. If I am doing pictures of people I use Kodak's Vericolor or VPS this is Kodak's professional film which has better skin tones. If you are looking for a film to use a good rule of thumb is that the major color on the box of film is the colors that will come out best after it's developed.
