Why Panoramas

For starters, its a pretty good feature on my Fuji. For the main course, its wide format allows me to capture a uniquely framed landscape which is just another landscape on a regular aspect ratio. And for dessert, since it has to be stitched in-camera from multiple shots, movement is preserved as an artifact on the photo. It embolises that stagnant scene with the artifacts that blow an air of ‘edgy’ mystery into it.

For example, one of my favorite images from the trip is of a fellow classmate jumping from a rock and others looking on.
