Yes, the RAW file didn’t managed to be uploaded (today was a horrible day for internet connections all over the world due to cyberattacks, as I’ve apprehended also from the news).
To me that blue on the table seems to be a natural reflection of the blue of the sky, but I can’t really say without the RAW image in hand. What puzzles me more are the highlights around the handles of the windows.
@priort if you are asking to me, about the “electrified” handles, it would be extremely odd that both the glasses consistently were lightning exactly the two handles, and more because the main source of light comes from the opposite direction.
I’m pretty sure it’s the sunlight which you can see is coming in at a steep angle, reflecting off the (presumably rather shiny) handles.
I agree that the blue on the table is a section of blue sky
I think that the ‘electrified’ handles are the reflection from the back side of the hardware.
Am trying to upload the .RAF again … real internet speed problem today!! Must be that weather balloon. 20230204_0009.RAF (53.7 MB)
No shenanigans, just a bit of work with the filmic curve to lift out the shadows. It did need highlight reconstruction for the bright parts of the window frame.
I think the blue on the table is reflected skylight, and the halos around the window handles are reflected sunlight off the handles themselves, owing to the angle of the sun as depicted in the shadows…
Nice photo to play with. I used filmic and I did a drawn mask for the interior and lightened it while retaining the exterior exposure. Thanks for the opportunity. 20230204_0009.RAF.xmp (16.6 KB)
The blue goes haywire when you try to push saturation in a very low saturation scene. It’s quite subtle in the actual file and most likely sky reflected in the table.
My favorite is @123sgedit. My eyes landed on the window and the glasses. The other details in the room aren’t important. They’re visible enough to give context.
