I've been gazing at those wonderful panoramas in the previous post and wondering at the special vision needed to do them. I can't see the world that way. A quick look through my recent work shows a fair majority of landscapes are in the vertical "portrait" format. The classic parallel is the long tradition of Chinese hanging scroll landscapes that dispense with geometric perspective and merely arrange foreground to distance in a bottom to top sequence. It's a way of addressing from "here" to "there"; from where I'm standing to where I'm looking.
The movements of a well specified view camera allow for back tilt which exaggerates the foreground and makes it loom toward the viewer. Sometimes the toe-caps of my boots are just below the bottom edge of the frame. Here is an example:
