I have done Mt Rainier, Mount St Helens and Crater Lake that way; the light changes, the perspective changes, the weather is in flux, you have to be ready. The Grand Canyon also comes to mind, you want to be there for both sunrise and sunset. Now that I am into time lapse video, even more so.
Indeed. You can't expect good results when large amounts of your landscape are swamped with deep shadow because the sun's not in a good position, or there's too much/not enough cloud. I can imagine that time lapse is even more demanding in terms of timing and forethought.

I'll make no apologies for posting another photo of this spot. I put a lot of time and effort into working this scene and getting various shots from various angles and elevations. And I've still not exhausted the possibilities...

Absolutely no apology needed RG, it’s another great shot of this area - and it is definitely a different take. I do much the same with almost everything I shoot - whether landscapes or not ( I know you understand - I always need another option!).

Thanks. What I find sometimes is that the first shot I take isn't the best one and if I'd stopped after that shot I wouldn't have taken the better shots.

Isn't that what we're supposed to do? Then when you get back home, do you keep them all or just one?

Yep, like you, I would spend lots of time in such a great location. Your images speaks of success in your endeavors.

This is just my little reminder that it's good practice to work the scene. TBH I don't always remember to do that myself...
My own workflow involves being quite brutal with culling but I'll only get rid of the obvious disasters. I'm haunted by the fear that I might one day throw out a shot that's perfectly good but I just underestimated its worth. (Actually I make a point of not being too precious about the products of my photographic endeavours).
