Shuttered window light at sunset

As the sun was setting yesterday. The light filtering past the shutters was glorious.

This was handheld at 800 ISO. Need to get more accurate with position to minimise distortions, window needs cleaning :)

Absolutely glorious! Did you add some fill light yourself?

In the room, no. The only light was from the window or in-room reflections of the window light. There is a gap around the edges of the shutters which lets in a bit of incidental light. There is also some light coloured furniture below the camera position facing the window. I added a little bit of fill in PP (Lightroom) to reduce the darkness of the wall somewhat.

It's just as well the wall is dark, you don't notice how distressed it is...
