Seeking a new point of view
Up until now, as I got used to the 16:9 widescreen format of high-definition television, I stopped looking up and down.
Maybe I was just telling myself that “landscapes are wide”.
If you think about it, it wasn't always like that.
I used to be able to achieve a variety of expressions by holding a 4:3 camera at an angle, and I've taken many shots that make full use of diagonal lines.
So if I get used to the vertical angle of view, I'm sure my expressions will change.

From Landscape to Portrait
It's cherry blossom season in Japan right now.
Many Japanese people love the way these flowers fall, scattering in just a few days.
This is called a “Sakura Fubuki”.
Generally, this scene is often captured with a horizontal angle of view, but I'd like to try a different approach.
Let's take a look at the landscape that can't be captured with a horizontal angle of view, using a vertical angle of view.
From Horizontal to Vertical
In the first place, the premise is that you're going to be looking at it on a smartphone with a vertical angle, so there's no point in taking it with a horizontal angle.
From the start, you should just look for a beautiful scene with a vertical angle and capture it.
Let's try taking a picture of the cherry blossom storm that Japanese people love so.
Sakura Fubuki
The petals of the cherry blossoms fall and drift away on the wind.
Someone once said that it was as if a spirit was riding on each petal.
You would probably think that it would be beautiful to take a photo of the petals flying away from a single tree from a vertical angle.
