I don't "know" this to be true, but I read some time back that
using an infrared light and filter works because IR cuts through quite
a bit more haze than natural light or regular flash. Of course, if you
want your pictures in full colour, that might be trickier... I don't
know if there's a way to convert colour infrared to regular colour.
