Infrared Aerial Photo



Infrared aerial photos use infrared film which is sensitive to a certain portion of the spectrum of light. This is a very helpful tool that can be used to benefit research in many fields. These images are taken from an aircraft, spacecraft or automated rocket. This specific image shows a river and the surrounding vegetation and land usage around it. This type of photography is great for ecologists because they can really study and try to understand what is going on in each ecosystem.
