Infrared scenic photographs
Photographs by Arnout Hyde Jr.

      Infrared film differs from regular black and white and color films in that it records longer wave lengths of light for red hues. Colors and black and white do not appear as they do to the naked eye. For example blue skies appear black, while green foliage often photographs white.

      Infrared film is used in a wide range of applications, such as identifying archeology sites, geological features, architecture, hydrology patterns and crime scenes. I have used infrared photography not only in scenic photography, but to locate archeological sites, crime scenes and hydrology patterns primarily through aerial photography.

Inferred architectural summer view of the famous General Lewis Inn in Lewisburg which appears to be winter, since the foliage photographs in white tones.

An example how aerial infrared color film reveals World War 1 wooden troop ships sunk in Mallows Bay on Potomac River below Washington D.C.
