Abstract:
1. A focusing light controller for use in combination with a camera, a spotlight and a flash bracket, said focusing light controller is capable of being used as a snap on accessory and comprises: a switching means for deactivating said spotlight approximately simultaneously as the shutter of said camera is opened such that said spotlight can be used effectively with a variety of light sources and a synchronization trigger that is partially depressed so that said synchronization trigger serves as said switching means to activate, said spotlight during the period that the camera shutter is closed and deactivates said spotlight approximately simultaneously as the shutter of said camera is opened when said synchronization trigger is fully depressed thereby resulting in on/off synchronization between said spotlight and said camera shutter and a synchronization means that employs an adjustable calibration means for controllably coupling said synchronization trigger with a camera shutter release, such that said synchronization means can be adjustably calibrated by a layperson to accomplish said on/off synchronization between a camera shutter and said spotlight in such a way that all variances due to light source choice are accounted for during said calibration adjustment process by said layperson whereby a bright spotlight can not contaminate the photograph and photography is made convenient under poor lighting conditions.
