2 guys at the New York University created a camera that takes photos with an invisible flash of infrared and ultraviolet light.
The results have an odd colour balance that looks like a view through a night-vision scope.
So the camera takes a flash-free photograph of the same scene quickly after the dark flash image.
and software is used to combine the sharp detail from the first image with the natural colours from the second image
There are still some issues with materials that absorb UV or IR light, but I think it is a great first step and I can see this technology integrated in loads of different ways.

These photos submitted by visitors to bodysurf.com.au capture the excitement, beauty and simple pleasure of going for a bash in the waves.
Love it. @iclazie

Have you ever stood in the exact spot that millions have stood before taking the exact photo of the exact view that millions have taken before I wondered “why am I doing this?”
I have taken this shot* of the Sydney Harbour Bridge…
…and this shot* of the Taj Mahal…
…but last year I specifically did not take this shot* of Hong Kong from the Peak because I realised I could just Google it later.
Does this make me lazy or just practical?
*These layered images were grabbed from Flickr and put together in Photoshop. Each is a composite of about 5 images taken from the same location by different people.

“Incredible dedication” – the only way to describe Dan Hanna who for the last 17 years has religiously taken 2 images of himself every day using a home made rig. Before you watch, just remember this started long before digital cameras were around…
Here’s the rig below, which Dan carried with him, even on holidays.
The rig dismantled below – you can see how Dan rotates himself by about 1 degree every day, so a full year means one complete rotation.
Read a lot more about the project here.

It’s a great read. Thank you Dan for sharing – it really is an amazing piece of work.

Well, perhaps not so much… but whatever the future holds, it’s big things for photographer and illustrator Hubert Blanz.
Check out some of his wonderful works here.

Inspired by the amazing street project Little People Blog, but don’t quite have the time to hand-craft tiny people? Well, Tilt-Shift Maker has a quicker, easier, and surprisingly effective alternative.
Tilt-shift refers to a photographic technique whereby a camera lens is tilted relative to the image plane and combined with a large aperture to create a shallow depth of field. The end result is a real photograph that looks like a scene created of miniature models. Tilt-Shift Maker is a web service that transforms existing digital images into tilt-shift style miniatures, and the result can be surprisingly effective. Head over to the site, upload an image, select a focus area and bam – your ‘miniaturised’ image is ready to go.
Here’s a mini Bondi Beach I’ve just whipped up:
Check out the Tilt Shift Maker site for some other fantastic examples.

I just found a wonderful collection of images. Each image is snapped at an opportune moment resulting in some quite amazing moments in time, and some very funny results.
