The visual effect of the sweeping panorama our eyes see doesn't translate to a wide-angle image. When we view a scene such as the one in the first image, we aren't looking at it all at once. Instead, our attention moves from one area of interest to another, generating in our minds an idealized representation free of the inconsequential distractions like wires, ugly signs, and utility poles. The camera records everything, and reduced to the smaller, self-contained artifact of the print or image on the screen, these distractions become picture elements.
Contrary to many beginning photographers' instincts, a short to medium telephoto lens best allows the photographer to capture the point or points of interest and keep the distractions out of the frame.
An odd discovery I made using this lens
https://www.venuslens.net/product/laowa-9mm-f-5-6-ff-rl/
is that the wide angle can make distracting things like power lines look really small in context and not so bothersome the way they are with moderate focal length lenses. Also I think very wide lenses can capture some of that panorama effect: I live near a state forest that I think is strikingly beautiful but most lenses can only capture a tiny bit of it, yeah you can get a flower or a bug or something, but be it a 20mm or a 200mm any attempt to go beyond macro photography falls flat.
Oh that 9mm is my absolute favorite lens (a close second being a 105mm). It's surprisingly versatile, too - I've done street photography, architecture (probably where it excels the most), landscape, and even macro.
I had a phase when I only had a 35mm-equivalent prime and was happy for a long time, I have a lot of lenses now but I can imagine having just that 9 and not getting bored for a long time though I wouldn't be doing sports -- if you can find flower beds that are exceptionally deep it even takes good flower photos but the only beds I can find that deep are the ones my wife maintains, if I got to Ithaca or Cornell flower beds just aren't deep enough that I can hold the lens over them and have flowers all the way to the edge.
Related to my other comment on here, but why not use AI editing tools to cut out the signs and poles, instead of buying a special lens? It would have the same effect of replicating how it felt to look at in real life.
