In the realm of professional photography, and those amateur wanting
professional results, when photographing people, the illumination devices
must be located directly above and on the centerline of the camera lens.
This is the desired effect as not to have shadows behind the subjects.
Changing from landscape to portrait modes, currently requires the
re-adjustment of the illumination devices to bring them in line with the
camera. In photographing people, the instant does not wait for the
photographer to ready his equipment, rather the photographer must be able
to adapt quickly. There exists many different kinds illumination devices
that are necessary for proper illumination of photographic subjects, in
particular people. There also exists cameras that utilize digital imaging
technology that senses through the camera lens for exactitudes of
distance and amount of ambient light. Even though the technology is vast,
there is no camera that can sense it's planar projection and transfer
that information to illumination devices, so that only those illuminating
devices that will produce the most desired effects will operate along
with the camera, while those other devices that are not needed for the
most desired effects will not operate. In this invention, there is not
only a device that incorporates a multi-angular platform apparatus for
the illumination devices, for the camera and for the through the lens
data interface but it also incorporates the ability to rapidly change
illumination device triggering based the planar orientations of the
camera while maintaining proper illumination effects. In this invention,
only those devices that will produce the desired photographic effects are
triggered to operate, while those that will not produce the desired
photographic effect will not operate. This invention is also transferable
to all cameras that trigger illumination devices.
