Aerial photos are another type of remote sensing. Aerial photography is a type of photography in which you take pictures of the ground from an elevated position. Black and white emulsion is sensitive to approximately the same wavelengths as the human eye and therefore, false color isn't necessary since we can already see the wavelengths recorded. This black and aerial photo illustrates Cassat Ave in Jacksonville, Florida (my hometown) which is a suburb, as you can see the houses, trees, roads, and neighborhoods from above.
