Ueno Zoo

I recently took my first trip to Japan and I thought it would be a good time to give film a go for the first time too! After I landed at Haneda, I had about 6 hours to kill before I was allowed to check into my room so I took a trip to Ueno Zoo. I've never had the opportunity to photograph Pandas properly before so it was a HUGE surprise to not only see these, but to only be about 15ft away from them, able to get such clear photos. I captured a mixture of digital and analogue shots of these fantastic bears, and I'm really pleased that the film shots came out as well as they did.
