Abstract

The present invention is a new system of illumination to take photography, using the characteristic of curves surfaces mirrored, that reflect the light rays directed to its respective focus, creating a light compound where direct luminous rays (produced by the light of that source) be mixed with convergent rays reflected by the curve surface, wrapping the surface of the object.

Description

Photographic System of Curved Mirrored Enclosure Background of the invention 1 - Field of the invention

Photographic System of Curved Mirrored Enclosure is a new technologies to photograph objects that need to show their relevantparts which can only be obtained by an appropriate illumination system and special manipulation of the appliances, supports, lights and the objects placed in the enclosure to be photographed, since it controls the reflection and brightness of Eghts. So this invention will introduce in the world market other way of photograph that cannot be able to be accomplish by current plane enclosure and hard to be taken in opened spaces for its complex way to handle the illumination arrangement. 2. Description of the invention The operation of this system of lighting is done by help of a curved mirrored enclosure what reflects the bright rays towards his respective focus, and is differentiated of the photographic enclosures of fiat surfaces were rays work only in straight line. (This characteristic is not impediment to be part of the light compound system mentioned). Another feature of the converging rays is that they increase the brightness and intensity of light, a relevant characteristic in photography, which does not exist in the light reflected by plane surfaces Those are fundamental to achieve reliable and authentic photography, without shadows distortions, due to the luminous vectors having the same distance from the emission point of the reflected light, since they mix together according the radios of the curvatures at the spherical mirrored enclosure. Besides all of these benefits, the light emitted by this system is totally of homogeneous luminosity, due to the good distribution of the luminous flow, and because corresponding lamps and luminaries could be chosen and placed properly. The luminous sources may have a great variation, subject to the effects intended to be produced, such as incandescent, fluorescent, halogen light, LED lighting system under different colors, different intensity and so on. The curve surface may be spherical, elliptical, ovoid or similar types and combination between them. The dimensions and sizes of the enclosure is the most variable, subject, exclusively, to the largeness of the elements to be photographed. Curved enclosure helps to place the objects, under adequate position. Enclosure can be constructed of any material that can hold curved shape and be able to receive a special treatment to reflect the desired light. According to the luminosity required, the mirrored surface will be mercury amalgam, special covers reflecting light, or the application of a mirrored polyethylene plate, or any other material able to reflect the light with diverse intensity, color or other desired luminous effects. The necessary corresponding supports will supplement the enclosure in order to arrange in the right position the elements to be photographed, as well as the luminous sources that operated the illumination system.

Summary of the invention

One of the object of Photographic System of Curved Mirrored Enclosure is to produce the right illumination to take photography where reflection and brightness created by objects is a problem to be eliminated, as happen with gold jewelry or also metallic paint. Therefore, the system makes the necessary adjustment to control the reflection and brightness produced for the objects. Other object introduces a new technique of illumination and manipulation of the objects to be photographed, offering great benefits of their images, mainly those that shows difficulties to obtain good photography due to color contrast. clarity, color shade and brightness that produce "hot zones" as they are known, that are difficult, as impossible to produce with the current plate enclosure. Photographic quality is hard in open space due the complexity of the iUuπώration arrangement that normally need professional supervision. The Photographic System of Curved Mirrored Enclosure creates clear images without reflection, and reduced costs. It simplifies the photographer's labor for containing all of the necessary resources in a single enclosure, commanded by buttons, saving time and money, sparing the need to go through professional photographer studios. All the advantages showed above can be improved with advance electronics methods.

The Photographic System of Curved Mirrored Enclosure offers countless advantages in front the plane surfaces box because introduce a new luminous component, where it can mix the luminous rays from luminous source with the convergent rays generated by curved surfaces..

The Photographic System of Curved Mirrored Enclosure has the advantage to put together, in one single room, all equipments and implements to apply the appropriate illumination technologies, and handle the device together and at the same time. Another feature of the convergent rays is that they increase the luminous intensity, and created a homogeneous bright, impossible to be generated in plane surfaces.

That quality is fundamental to obtain trustworthy and authentic images, without distortions of the shadows.

The Photographic System of Curved Mirrored Enclosure allows to tilt and to rotate the plate, increasing the possibilities to work with different angles, through manual, electric or electronics commands.

The Photographic System of Curved Mirrored Enclosure showed here use a panel with 10 illumination buttons.

The Photographic System of Curved Mirrored Enclosure is great help to create images for publicity, catalogs, or any other visual images, with quality, reliability, versatility, and economy, sparing the professional service, studios and software and for Internet services. Brief Description of the drawings Reference numeral list Fig. 1 Figure 1 represents curved surface body divided in two parts: superior (hat) and inferior (basis)..

Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only for principles of the invention. Further, since multiple ways to factory the Photographic System of

Curved Mirrored Enclosure to attend innumerous requirement according to object sizes, manual, electrical and electronics operations systems and different material that can occur to skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.

Claims

What is claimed is:
