Image Caption:
S48-609-069: Color visible Rolleiflex photograph of King Sound,
Australia. Water turbidity within the sound and along the coast
shows up as a variety of colors ranging from light blue to red-
dish brown. Compared to the IR photograph of the same area (S84-
105-099), this photograph seems to contain more spectral informa-
tion related to the type and concentration of material within the
water.
