Sigh. I blew it!

The other night, we got noisy visitors, modernizing the semi-antique sewers beneath our street. In my head, I visualized a photo looking like post #7 in the playraw-night-powerplant thread… Unfortunately, I blew it, by completely overexposing all shots. :frowning:

Thanks for sharing!
I used Photoflow new caching branch where I recovered highlights, reduced noised with emphasis on the blue channel (the most noisy one), sharpening, relight, tone mapping and curves.

Haven’t seen this before. Looks like a science experiment a la TMNT.

RT 5.7

Raw Therapee 5.7

i used dual demosaicing with threshold at 60, quite strong nr, curves and highligth recovery.

I think it could further benefit from a dual development, one with right colors for the truck and the other for the i think tungsten light, merged with Gimp with layer maks.
