"A new era in the physiological investigation of linguistic sounds was opened up by X-ray photography." - 365 Project, Day 264

Is there a new type of photography that can be invented?  Photography can be now done in virtually every wavelength of light, from infrared to ultraviolet.  Light field photography captures the direction of rays of light, making it possible to focus later.  X-ray photography allows everything from scanning your body to seeing the universe at large.  Is there any type of thing we haven't yet photographed?

Perhaps I can't think of anything because it seems like everything's been photographed.  I suppose, if string theory is correct, for example, there are more than 3 dimensions, and then photographs of that might be possible, but first we need to enter the realm of subatomic photography.  Perhaps something like taking pictures of a cross-section of wire, and analysing the signal it's carrying might emerge.  Or maybe taking picture of the curvature of space/time.  I suppose a new type of photography will eventually emerge, though we can't really see what that might be, given our limited view at the moment.

Here's our simple old regular photography for today.

Another day with few opportunities, but I did get this.  I just liked the way the shadows ran, but there's not much more to see in this picture.  I boosted a few things to give the picture a certain look, but it only ends up looking as bland as it should probably look.
