This image is an example of an infrared aerial photo. By using a infrared film, we can capture images with wavelengths that lay outside of our visible range on the electromagnetic spectrum. These types of images are very good for looking at things such as vegetation due to it being highly reflective to the IR spectrum, as stated in our notes for the remote sensing chapter. We also learned that the difference between water and land is also more pronounced in an IR photo. That idea really sticks out here. The water takes on a deep blue, a high contrast to the red land. By using this type of remote sensing process, we can more easily look at things that we may not be able to notice with our own eyes.
