Holy Bokah Balls!

Was cleaning out my "Temp" image folder and ran across this - One of the first images I shot with the 5D Mark IV. Christmas tree lights in the background.

Nice! And clear crystal or glass are durn'd difficult to get good images of!

Mitsy's learning that as she shootss pieces she intends to sell on Etsy. I figuer by using the DSLR I've saved tons in processing (if she were trying to do it with film) and hours of darkroom time.

Two things I notice in this shot that catches my eye. Where the globes overlap, it is brighter. That is odd since in reality, the lights don't touch or cross. The other thing is the reflections on the table are the same size. I can't really explain what I think it should be though.

That’s an interesting observation. I’m at a loss to explain it.

The sensor interprets the overlap of out-of-focus light source as being double the intensity. Film emulsion would do the same given equivalent focal length and ∱-stop. The reflected image of the lamps on the table top would follow Snell's Law: angle of incidence equals angle of reflection.
Out of focus from the source, so the reflection is the same coming from the table.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

Sounds good to me.
