"infrared photography"의 정의 및 의미

What is "infrared photography"?

Infrared photography is a technique that captures images using infrared light, which is not visible to the human eye but lies just beyond the red end of the visible spectrum. This type of photography often reveals unique details and effects, such as making vegetation appear bright white, skies dark, and some materials transparent. Infrared photography is used in various fields, including landscape photography to create surreal images, scientific research to study plant health and heat patterns, and in security and surveillance for night vision. It provides a distinct view of the world by showing how objects reflect or emit infrared light.
