New Yorkers Develop Dark Flash | PhotographyBLOG

Rob Fergus, Associate Professor at NewYork University, and Dilip Krishnan, a first-year student at the same institution, have developed a flashgun that emits invisible light. According to a report by the New Scientist, the “dark flash” actually works over a wider range of wavelengths than normal flashes, but visible light is filtered out.

If this could be processed properly, in camera, it will change point and shoot photography. Not needing an SLR for great low light results would be brilliant. I expect it has a while to go yet though.
