Best Day Trip near Manila | Hidden Valley Springs | Lumix S5 + Vintage Nikkor Lenses

Brought my camera to a hidden forest bathing paradise just 2 hours from Metro Manila that I found out-- legendary director Francis Ford Coppola lived in for months as his sanctuary while filming Apocalypse Now. This paradise is called Hidden Valley Springs in Alaminos, Laguna. 🌴 In this vlog, we’re escaping the city to explore this virgin rainforest, swim in naturally heated warm pools and see if this hidden gem is still the paradise I remember from my childhood. To capture the true nostalgia of this location, I used vintage Nikkor lenses (35mm f/2.0 & 50mm f/1.4) adapted to my Panasonic Lumix S5 and color graded with the Dehancer Pro.
