I've heard a few second-hand cases that owl photographers often use a red light so that their camera can auto focus on their targets at night time, when auto focus (and even manual focus) is pretty much useless. The logic is apparently that red is good for exaggerating contrast in low-light which most cameras use to auto focus.
Any ideas if this is true? I would rather not have to point a super bright white beam at a nocturnal critter to get focus on it.
