Due to unforeseen technical difficulties, this stream is 720p instead of the usual 1080p. Apologies about that!
In recent weeks, members of the CGC Blender Community have been participating in a challenge thread about matching one of their favorite lighting examples. It's been a lot of fun - I've done 2 already and plan to do more:
In this stream, I'll be tackling one or two live. I think I'll start with the one below. Come, embrace your inner gaffer, and join the lighting fun!

It can also be that some of this colors and values were altered by hand in Photoshop .
can you use a negative value on lamp subtract light?
In general?
Is it better to use a separate shadow render pass and combine it during compositing?
The ground plane is a bit too shiny.
the shadow on the ground (in the reference) looks darker
Make the area light smaller? To make the shadow sharper.
It's good for eclipse effect too.
I just have trouble with reds mostly, Sometimes really light green and yellow. For the fundamentals of lighting course, I just googled lightbulb color values to get the lamps in the night scene.
apply a greyscale filter?
