Fujien, which is mainly made of standing wood instead of wisteria trellis
Unlike the wisteria trellis, the line of sight is lowered and you can appreciate it in a natural way. Although it is within reach, it is a delicate plant that requires frequent care, so let’s enjoy it with your eyes without touching it.

The world seen through an old lens
Finally, I would like to touch on the equipment used for shooting.
In recent years, old lenses have become more popular in Japan. Disposable film cameras are also popular.
Each has its own characteristics, but I would like to introduce how the lens used for shooting this time looks like.
Helios enjoying the bokeh round and round
Notice the background behind the flowers. Can you see that it has a rugged atmosphere? This is commonly known as “round and round bokeh.”
This is not an intentional product, but a product made by a Russian manufacturer imitating a German lens manufacturer, resulting in such an image. It is a popular and easy-to-find lens.
Old lenses are prone to ghosts and flares
Modern lenses are processed to prevent the above-mentioned red light (ghost) and the phenomenon that the screen becomes white due to sunlight (flare). Therefore, it is difficult to take such a picture. I think people have different tastes, but those who use old lenses will add this kind of play.
By the way, the TAMRON described in this article is a modern lens. It is a lens that shoots things in the distance, which is indispensable for shooting outside, and most of the photos posted in the past are taken with this lens.
I hope that the number of people who start photography with the photos posted will increase as much as possible. With that in mind, I wrote an article. I hope the world you see through the viewfinder will expand as much as possible.
