Spherical lighting device with backlighting coronal ring

A computer system for capturing three-dimensional photographic lighting of a spherical lighting device, the computer system comprises:

• one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices and program instructions which are stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, the program instructions comprising:
• program instructions to calculate boundaries of the spherical lighting device based on lighting properties of at least one light source in a set location of the spherical lighting device;
• program instructions to map multiple points of the spherical lighting device to three-dimensional vectors of a camera device using a logical grid of the spherical lighting device;
• program instructions to measure brightness of the logical grid of the spherical lighting device;
• program instructions to determine a brightest grid point of the logical grid of the spherical lighting device, wherein the brightest grid point of the logical grid is measured within a region brightness of the spherical lighting device;
• and
• program instructions to calculate the region of brightness of the spherical lighting device based on the brightest grid point of the logical grid.
