When using infrared aerial photography things such as water, forest type landscapes and land contrasts are extremely more distinguishable than when one uses black and white photos. When using infrared photos false colors are used because humans cannot see the actual wavelengths that are recorded on infrared film. Unlike black and white photos, infrared photos make different images and surface features extremely more visable when looking at a photo. The infrared photo above is of the Lower Yellowstone River Corridor in Montana. When looking at the photo it is easy to distinguish the river from the other surface features that are on the photo.
