I spent the weekend working on my map locations guide for the Alabama Hills. I started the project using Illustrator, but switched over to Ortelius, a cartography software. Ortelius has proven to be a great tool for designing my maps because some of the routes in the Hills are complex. I’m using maps from Open Street Map and am adding routes and icons using the cartography program. It’s a fun project, and hopefully it will help other photographers find great places to photograph in this beautiful area.
Here’s a sample section – this one was simple to design.
