Infrared Aerial Photo

Infrared Aerial Photo- infrared photography shows the infrared part of the spectrum, which can not be seen by the naked eye. Infrared photos show objects based on how much infrared light they reflect back. 




Infrared photography is used to see things that are not visible in normal light. Normal objects react differently to infrared light than they do to in visible light- for example, foliage is reflected red, with the brighter red being the most healthy. Parking lots, pavement, and water reflect bluer, like the water around the community here. This picture is from Discovery Bay, part of the Delta National Park in California's Bay Area.
