Well that requires a shift lens to prevent the mountains falling over backwards which is just butt ugly. Besides, if I had included more foreground, I would have had tripod legs in the scene.
The choice of focal length here is to get the entire face of the cliff and stop it just at the edge of the interesting or shadowed edge. It is a self composing scene.
My dark sky shot allowed a wider lens, so I used a 15mm. Here is what that looks like from the same place. But then I had no shadows to deal with.
I will go ahead and show the sunrise shot here since I have decided this series is not presentation worthy.
The idea about not centering an image is sort of like religion. Some believe others don\'t.
