False Color Example

Sometimes students have a hard time understanding the concept of false color imagery using infrared in aerial photography. I find it helpful to use photographic images, both black and white infrared and various kinds of false color. The artistic work of photographers can make it more understandable.

Today on the Bing.com search engine there is a marvelous false color image of trees and log cabins that is very interesting. Here is a permanent link to the image: https://www.bing.com/?FORM=HPSHCL&mkt=en-US&ssd=20140813_0700 . And I am including a screen capture of the image, too. Enjoy!
