Infrared Aerial Photograph

The National Parks website provides a stunning example of an infrared aerial photograph. The benefit to using infrared is the level of detail that can be obtained. This type of film is best used when photographing vegetation. As you can see, this photograph of the Lyndon B. Johnson Ranch shows a wide variety of plants and trees. It is important to remember that the colors seen on an infrared photograph are really "false" colors because the human eye can not see infrared.
