Shooting in Petropolis: where is the light and aperture

This morning at 7:00 a.m. I went out again with my tripod, kit lens, camera and, of course, my fathers's dogs. I have to go all the way up the road to the best view of the valley below, but when I got there the sun was rising on my left hand side, making an angle of about 45% with the camera when it points straight to the view.

The illuminated portions of the landscape are a relatively uninteresting rock 4/5 of the way to the view, the forest below it if I am there late enough, and the mountain on the other side of the road on my right hand side when I am about 2/5 of the way up:
