So I was surfing the net today and I came across this cool article on Digg.com about an invisible flash camera that uses UV and infrared rays to capture what normal flash does. This camera was created by two computer scientists from NY University.

Apparently while the technology allows for some really sharp photos it has a few flaws in the system. The most notable one being a weird color balance issue which makes the photo look like it was taken with nightvision. They have managed to work around this problem by taking a second photo with out using the IR/UV flash and then using computer software merge the two photos together. The other notable problem is that some sources don't show up in the photo when using the IR/UV flash because they absorb UV and IR rays.

It seems the technology is still in the works but sounds rather interesting since if perfected would reduce all the red eye and glare issues that arise in photography.

Here is the link for anyone who is interested in reading more about it.....LINK.....
