100% value (brightness) 0 0 slope 100% Hillshade—no unique relation between slope and brightness
100% value (brightness) 0 0 slope 100% Vertical hillshade with exaggeration: value = hillshade(<zgrid>, 0, 90, shade, 6)

The moral of this story • Look at lots of images, not a default hillshade • Think about the images that might best illustrate the features that interest you. Then make them
