The images above are a good example of how the technique is used as the escalator is a good example for manmade leading lines, and the trees are an example for natures leading lines.
NightTime Photography
Nighttime photography is also an excellent way to capture landscape as light changes our perspective on the landscape. The way we capture photo's depends heavily on light, so the difference between day and night is that they make the perspective different.
Motion Blur
Motion Blur is also a great technique for landscape as it captured the natural movement of the landscape or city. So if you are to use motion blur in a city, you would get headlights/taillight drawing along the roads.
Motion Blur used in a natural scene like a beach, You will get the tide coming on onto the sand, it will make a blurred effect capturing its movement.
Double Exposure
Double exposure is a good technique for ManVsNature as you can combine the two different types into one.
Leading lines is a good example for this as you can use the leading line as a splitting point. So on one side of the road is a dense city, and on the other side is a lush forest.
