Hi curious, I hope you are well? Yes I can see what you mean and yes at that time in the morning it could actually be mistaken for a trick of the light. And I can also see your point about the jury being convinced that Bewes and Myall explanation being the right one if they were shown the drawing and the photo. The only problem being is that this photo was taken during the day and the image that Jeremy, Myall and Bewes saw was of the room with the light on thus creating a backlight to whatever was seen that night?
Mr. Gee
I am well thank you as I hope you are.
Naturally with regard to the time of day photograph 'WHF31' was taken I am not sure and have no way of telling. In this regard it should also be remembered cameras, even during 1980s, will have had the ability to compensate for panoramic low / lower light levels.
As for 'WHF31' my personal opinion is the actual daylight levels at the time of the photograph are lower than appear in the posted photograph. My reasoning for this is the appearance of the sky being overcast in the far background, the seeing of light bulbs from within rooms behind master bedroom window and behind front door window.
The other thing to note is on the morning of 7th August 1985 if it was very dark outside in what is effectively open countryside with very little natural light pollution, the master bedroom was fully illuminated with the light on and curtains fully open there would not be much point in trying to look out of the master bedroom window as the light differentials would not be very conducive to seeing anything on the other side of the window. In such a scenario physics will determine a reflection / mirror effect appearing on the inside of what would be an opaque master bedroom window as opposed to a transparent master bedroom window.
