0.5 Landscape Photos
I enjoy taking landscape photos because they will never change or cease to exist. In capturing these moments, I am able to reminisce on my memories in that specific place, instead of memories with specific people. Knowing that these locations will remain unchanged when I return another time, I can cherish it. These still photos also convey a sense of peacefulness, which is another reason why I adore taking pictures of landscapes. Additionally, the effect produced by the 0.5 lenses allows me to view what would otherwise be hidden if the standard camera lens were utilized. Since people rarely take shots that allow viewers to see what is on both ends, I find it more interesting to use this lens.
