This link is to an article about photographing wi-fi signals. What do you think? Could you capture this kind of image with a DSLR?

I put no credence in it whatsoever.
Last I knew, Kirlian photography photographed electrical coronal discharges from a subject with a high voltage applied to it.
Radio waves don't travel in circles or irregular patterns, they are radiated out from the antenna, typically in a concentric circle pattern.

What I'm thinking is not allowed to be said on the UHH, probably not even in the Attic.

I feel sorry for anyone who believes you can photograph WiFi signals.

So... are ya'll making fun of me for asking a question? I just want to clarify. I don't always pick up on social cues.

I seriously doubt it, more like fun at the person who created the article!
Not you!

Wi-Fi signals are radio waves, which travel at the speed of light. You can't photograph such.

But... but.... but...... somebody just photographed a Black Hole recently! I suspect that if that person had just opted to use a longer lens (available, no doubt, at Adorama, B&H, and [spoiler alert: undisclosed gray market overseas version through] Abe's Of Maine), the light waves (travelling at the speed of light, QED) might've gotten sucked into an Einstein-ian worm hole/space-time continuum loop such that the image that would result would be, in fact, the photographer's own........ butt.

I'm agreeing with that assessment as well.

Your source of information is the real problem, The Daily Mail is better to know as the Daily Lier, you cannot really believe anything you read in that paper.
