A really good landscape photo is basically the most difficult photograph to achieve in my opinion. All people who go outdoors see landscapes all day long, so they are completely desensitized. Therefore, you need something to set it off (e.g. color below). Note that the composition of a landscape photo is also key, so introducing elements, like a bird in flight or fish jumping is essential to keep it interesting.

Looking east along Hadrian’s Wall from Highshield Crags above Crag Lough. This week I am posting images from a walk along part of Hadrian's Wall. This is also the subject of my latest YouTune video (https://lnkd.in/ejyGvMzM).

Here's how to absolutely go bananas with your terrain hillshading. By using a handful of blurred versions of your elevation data, you get a better sense of structure, and a nice ambient illumination effect.

Exactly, this is precisely the process I undertake to achieve outstanding terrain visualization in the majority of map layouts which encompassing imagery and areas of interest (AOI) with diverse topography. It's important to note that some team members have questioned the necessity of duplicating multiple layers of terrain, applying various blending options and effects, and grouping them together. This can sometimes result in longer duration while export map for layouts intended for printing or publication. However, there's a rationale behind this approach! I strongly suggest watching this video to grasp how your layout, integrating both imagery and terrain, could visually benefit from these techniques. Once you see the results, you’ll likely never revert to using default imagery paired with terrain. Here's a recent map where I employed the same technique to visualize terrain. https://lnkd.in/dZVSWpFH #cartography #cartographyvibes
