Landscape Lighting Techniques for Cartography Using ArcGIS
Track: Cartography and Map Production
Author(s): Jeffery Nighbert

Cartography has come a long way in achieving realistic symbology and content to excite map users' understanding of landscapes. Natural color schemes and the use of imagery have greatly helped in this process. Landscape lighting in most cartographic products is full sun from the northwest--white light. This is generally a standard, but are there other possibilities for creating exciting cartographic presentations? This paper will give examples of how to create dramatic and realistic lighting schemes to greatly enhance cartographic realism.
