Infrared aerial photography is able to show wavelengths that fall outside the range of human vision. IR film is commonly used to produce color-infrared photos since we can't see the wavelengths recorded on infrared film. Furthermore, this infrared aerial photo illustrates a picture of a forest taken from above. The red color in the picture represents the shapes and forms of the trees that we wouldn't normally be able to see.
