CIR photography


What problems might you infer or identify in using this type of photography?

A major problem with CIR photography would be misinterpretation of objects or features. CIR photography requires a bit more color and feature interpretation training (vs.Natural). CIR 's uses in distinguishing vegetation types and vegetation health are fantastic, however, distinguishing among these vegetation types requires a trained eye. CIR is great at highlighting the contrasts between natural and unnatural (man-made) features. One might easily identify a common feature (i.e. golf course, baseball field) in the CIR image, but, be unable to interpret the color value (i.e. red vs. green).
