Sikkim : Moon over Mountains

The human eye has a focal length perspective of 50mm. Any focal length above gives an exaggerated perspective of the distant object. I wanted to leverage this idea in making an image of moon setting over the horizon. More specifically I was hoping the moon set at early mornings would happen over kangchenjunga and I would be able to make an image of moon with an exaggerated perspective with respect to kangchenjunga ( Another example of this is if you had watched the movie Bruce almighty there is a scene in which Jim carrey pulls the moon closer for Jennifer Aniston giving it a bigger than normal size. Was looking at something similar with respect to kangchenjunga as comparison :)). As it turned out from Lava or Neora valley where I tried, the moon set was occurring over the adjacent mountain which was rishyap a small and one of the many high altitude towns around Lava. So though the original idea did not pan out still managed to make some images of moon setting over Rishyap.
