Capturing Critical Images in Low Light  by Robert Kramer
Night Vision Tech Tips – Online Article

Nighttime photography can truly be a tricky task. Low-light conditions, traffic, massive crime scenes, weather and movement within the scene are issues to consider when going about the task of recording a scene with a camera after nightfall. One of the most important factors photographers must bear in mind is never knowing when the call to photograph the nighttime crime or accident scene will come. That fact alone should convince each and every photographer to be prepared.
