A follow-up to mlee's post below... I've been thinking of trying another tactic to illuminate my hiptop photos: infrared lighting. I've heard that all charge coupled devices (CCDs, which pretty much means any digital camera) can pick up infrared light. So I've been thinking of soldering together an infrared LED array to provide low light support. The advantage is that since infrared isn't visible to the human eye it is less intrusive and preserves the clandestine nature of the sidekick. If I ever get the time to try it out, I'll be sure to make a report here.
