One suggestion when taking such pictures. Something I find useful in my own work. Don't be limited by the view that the camera engineers made possible with a particular lens. I always try to overlap adjacent frames "just in case" I want a wider view when I get home.
Ansel Adams might spend hours contemplating a scene but then months or years working on the negative. Today we can do the same. Having optically coherent adjacent frames is such an advantage.
Not that one cannot compose perfectly on site. Many photographers master that skill. Credit to them! However on site, the human perception is influenced by many more factors than the light the eye collects from the scene. One has scents, sounds and atmosphere from presences of adjacent trees, birds flying path or the wind. So it is not at all surprising that we have to start thinking anew when we see our pictures on the computer monitor and feel a need to adjust the final form!
