Claim 1, an independent claim, delineates the fstop setting. What you said is true for claim 26 which depends on claim 25. Claim 25 has a long list of other necessary elements and steps that must be taken with those elements:
- A method, comprising: positioning a subject on an elevated platform in a studio arrangement, the studio arrangement comprising a plurality of rear light sources positioned behind the elevated platform and aimed at a background behind the elevated platform, the background comprising a cyclorama; activating the plurality of rear light sources, the plurality of rear light sources comprising a plurality of light sources being substantially evenly distributed over the background; activating a front light source aimed at the subject, wherein an image capture position is positioned between the front light source and the elevated platform; initiating image capture in an image capture device positioned at the image capture position; shielding the subject from light directly emanating from the plurality of rear light sources onto the subject; and wherein a top surface of the elevated platform reflects light emanating from the background such that the elevated platform appears a substantially similar color as the background and a rear edge of the elevated platform is substantially imperceptible to the image capture device.
