Abstract

See full text

A panoramic flash system is disclosed that filters out visible light (but not invisible light) from a flash unit that is directly connected to a camera equipped with a panoramic lens. The invisible light is then used to trigger a remote flash located in a blind spot of the field of view of the panoramic lens. The remote flash then illuminates the scene within the field-of-view of the panoramic lens. The visible-light filter can be an adhesive tape that is placed over the lens of a flash unit that is integral with the camera body. The panoramic lens can have the remote flash unit attached to the lens in the lens' blind spot.
