Forest Scenery To Add Tension

A wilderness can be more than just scenery, it can also be an obsacle for a character to overcome. These examples will not be about animals, but instead just terrain.

Cave.

Caves are often used in fantasy, but most of the time they are tunnels that are conveniently high and wide enough for the group to walk through. Sure this might be easier, but it does not add to the mood. Here are some ideas to make things harder for your characters:

Lost. They could be lost in a network of caves (look up a map of the Mammoth Cave to see a real-world example)

Tight spaces. Your character could be trying to squeeze through a tight area and get stuck. (People have died this way, and very recently)

Oxygen can be depleted in caves. Not only would your character be struggling to breath, but there is a high chance that their flame/torch/candle/lantern would struggle too, and maybe go out. They would be in pitch black, having to feel their way forward.

Underground rivers or lakes. Sometimes stories have them as the only way out, but in real life they often just lead to a network of underground streams with no oxygen(Example: Cenote Esqueleto, Mexico). Lakes are sometimes toxic or even acidic.

Slime. Some caves get slick from water, or even animal droppings (like bats) this can make for slippery footing

Uneven turrain. Caves are often not just a straightforward tunnel. Your character may be faced with a steep climb up or down a dangerous cliffface. (look up Hang Sơn Đoòng for one example)

Ice. There are some caves here that keep ice long after it has melted outside. (for a pretty example, look up Eisriesenwelt Cave)

Forest

Tree Graveyards. Where a previous wildfire turned trees into standing corpses. This could make hiding/escaping harder

Thick brush. Sometimes, the trees and brush get so thick that they become like a maze. Not only can that make getting lost easily, but it is tiring to weave through the knotwork of branches and trunks while also having branches cut into skin and pull hair.

Poisonous Plantlife. Imagine a forest where near every tree around is covered in poison ivy and your character has to climb one of them. There are also far more dangerous plants.

Bog/Swamp.

Mud that sticks you in place. At worse, you might get so stuck that you can’t move. If that doesnt happen, the suction will likely steal your shoes/boots.

Tiredness. Nevermind the bugs attacking, anyone who has walked through marshy turrain can tell you how tiring it can be.

Soggy feet. Walking along the base of plants can help from sinking a bit(or constructing snowshoe-like contraptions), but more than likely, the feet of your character will be

Not always easy to spot. Some bogs are so still and green with folliage, that they comoflauge into their surroundings.

Deadly depth. They may be deeper than you expect, too(some cultures even used them to burry dead).

Rock

Brittle. Shale is a brittle rock that can easily crumble underfoot. It can also be razor sharp like a knife.

Rock Falls. Rock falls are common, and sometimes animals cause it to happen on purpose. This is the reason many climbers, scramblers, and hikers wear helmets.

Slippery. Rocks can be very slippery, especially next to a river or waterfal. Not only has the rock been worn smooth, but it can be covered in slippery slime.

Pebbled. Trying to climb up the mass ammount of pebbles (such as by a rock slide) can be incredibly dificult as rocks give way and slide back with each step.

False Ledges. I have seen many new hikers walk to a ledge, not realizing they are just on a slate of rock hanging over a deadly fall. Those rocks can break under weight.

River

Undercurrants. In movies, they often make crossing a river look like a simple task. In real life, you have to worry about something called “undercurrants” where the the water under the surface moves at a different direction. This can mean drowning. Nearby where I live, there is a popular cliff-jumping spot that claims the life of someone every so often when they jump into the wrong spot.

Speed. In a violent river, just being in up to your knees can sometimes be enough to pull you off your feet.

Rocks. If your character is swept away in a river, there is likely going to be random large rocks your character may smash into.

Sharp. While swiming in a river, I once cut my foot open on something, perhaps a freshwater clam, that was so deep, my parents had to glue it closed (too far from the hospital). It could have also been a sharp rock, garbage, and more. Have I learned my lesson? No, not really.

Strange Features:

Crater of fire. Imagine a crator that never stops burning. Well, there is one in real life that has been burning for over 50 years. Look up Darvaza.

Poisonious lakes. Yup, these are real, too. Some lakes are so dangerous, that breathing near them is dangerous(Lake Nyos, Cameroon).

Hot Springs. Not all hotsprings are relaxing; some are hot enough to burn.

Who is the White Queen?

Soren:

Days of integration of 'Zip' went by and we now hold a collection of notes. Ethan was trying the 'good cop' approach and it seemed more productive then the other way.

I look at the downloadable notes on my tablet of what Zip said.

Hmmm...it felt so obvious to me. ;)

The King comes in late, he missed the last few meetings VERY busy at work for the cure and all. We hardly see him anymore.

I straighten up to attention sensing his mind.

(Michael): "These are..interesting findings. I've seen 'checkmate' quite a few times.. its deeper programing someone placed to keep him quiet."

(Borin): "I think its a wraith queen.. there are pale ones, it makes sense one of those made it after all..they comoflauge much better then the green one."

"Odette is quite pale....." He gives me a look like I said the wrong thing. Well it COULD be her.

My first thought would be my sister but I didnt want to say that... outloud.. Odette might be less problematic.

A little Rodan head canon for ya this afternoon!

Chicks in his species arepitch black. It’s comoflauge and they’re supposed to resemble cooled magma

Rodan was the first in his brood to learn to fly cause he kept trying to be a little trouble maker and sneak out of the nest

But as my friend perish said “10 crawls or him is probably just one step for his parents” so they were able to keep him close

I believe in a fair society. All people can wear what they please as long as it functions as actual clothing. No matter how bad your fashion is, you have the right to wear your clothing. But, Diego Brando has no such right. This man has violently assaulted my eyes, I cannot look at this man without awe at the hideous and poorly chosen pants he wears. His shirt is okay, it doesn't have much use as comoflauge as one might want in a transcontinental and violent race, but it still looks nice. His helmet gives him character, it is unique to only Diego and personally, I like it a lot. His pants, however, his disgusting jodhpurs, are the worst possible article of clothing he could have ever chosen. I do not recall seeing any other racer in the Steel Ball Run to be wearing this style of pants. Their alleged function of keeping the rider on the horse better seems futile, as Diego does indeed, fall off his horse. If he is such a "genius jockey" has has no need for these pants. They are godawful, and any man with his esteem and ego wouldn't even think of putting those pants on each day. I do not understand your choices in clothing, Diego. And this is why I hate you.

Shoot one

i decided to reshoot one of my previous ideas and to experience to photographing close up, half body and full body images. in this shoot, i considered the lighting positions and the angles in which i captured the photographs. Over all i am very happy with the out come of this shoot as i think i was able to take inspiration from Lucia Fulbrika and use fabric in order to comoflauge the subject in the image. 

i find this concept quite interesting as it shows a lack of identity within the photograph and it is quite frustrating for the audience as they are able to see what looks like a figure but cant quite tell who it is.
