The outer part of my anus is brown,
and the inner is pink.

Playing with your digital camera again or are you old school and use mirrors? :P

IF I ever got one, AND was willing to
post such things, you'd be quite right.

Y'all could've seen my 'roids, in gory detail.  :laugh:

This brain could do with some more dimethyltryptamine.

Some digital cameras can see the near infrared and you can see the infrared LEDs on remotes light up

They all can. It depends on the "color temperature" that you want to capture. Many of the professional grade digital cameras are quite capable of capturing images, well past the typical visible spectrum. Accessing the images through software manipulation is also very easy.

It opens whole new worlds to the forensic scientist and amateur experimenter, alike.

What filters on Photoshop would you use to see those images?

Bismuth is starting to be used quite widely as a replacement for lead in hunting ammunition, because of the concern about the toxic effects of lead in the environment.

It's more about how you adjust the colors. Increasing and decreasing gamma, contrast, brightness, saturation and hue will allow your camera to see  well beyond the visible spectrum. There is some science to bring into play, but it is still mostly art.
