Seems like snowy days there are quite romantic. Also, I don't know why 35mm film is quite popular. I am currently reading this encyclopedia about landscape photography and the lens recommended is 35mm and they're like book from the 70's or 80's but around that time.

Film is a very different experience compared to digital. It feels more intimate with the camera, since you don't know what the final image will look like, you're limited to a certain number of images per roll, and the physicality of it all makes it feel more real too. I love shooting digital and the freedom it offers, but film seems like it just offers something more.
35mm is a good starting lens and actually what I suggested my girlfriend gets for her first lens and camera combo. The same lens all the digital photographs I've been posting are with. 35mm is the 'cinematic' lens, it's wide but not too wide, and the aperture at F1.8 means it is incredibly versatile. The only downside is that for very open areas, it feels a little too short. Sometimes you want that extra push with landscapes. It all depends on the environment though. You can see some incredibly beautiful images shot with focal lengths lower than 35mm. Usually ones that detail mountains and the stars at night with a long exposure.
