Daylight and Dusk

Hi and thanks to you both for your replies. Ha, no I’m not going for an end of the world bush fire look <g>.

I am ok with redoing lighting. this a test effort and (hoped for) skill building exercise. the hdri ski I’m using is this one: HDRI Sky 157 - HDRI SKIES. The hdri is causing the red/orange color of the rendering as compared to the daylight version. I was thinking I would try one that didn’t have the red/orange and was more overall a late day blueish, per comment above.

I am curious to try the white balance color picker technique. I have the phys camera white balance set to white / 1.0

thanks you all for your help.

I think your camera settings, that is, your White Balance is making those colors. If you are going to use the Exposure settings, then you should know what White Balance/Kelvin Value to set your camera at as if you were in real life. Here, I found a link to help you out with this:

I find many attempts at this to fail if the basics of lighting and photography are not understood. Hope you have some success with this.
