Wide angle shots are a representation of what a person sees at a particular moment. Seeing the bigger picture and being able to snap this digitally is something that has only been accessible by a majority in recent times. I still remember taking my Polaroid around and taking closeup pictures. The notion of selfies was in fact alien to me and I would say the introduction and development of smartphones has really brought about a new way to capture life.
Whether it’s for social media or for simply personal memories, media creation has changed for the better as it allows versatile production. Digital imagery that allows on the fly stitching of pictures to gain the panoramic experience is a wonder and would otherwise require extensive equipment or software. In some cases both.
