Mixed Light

Here a cave entrace (outdoors) is balanced with the lights built into this cave display.  Balance is achived by how much of the scene is shown - more of the cave (the yellow part), the less green outdoors shows.  Here it was just luck that they were roughly the same brightness.




 Here there is a fixed light source (the sun coming through) and a variable source (my flashlight back filling the scene).  The flash light was on for about 4 seconds at the end of the scene to fill in the cave.  If I had not used the flashlight, the cave would be too contrasty - you couldn't see the walls.

It took 6 minutes to get enough star/city light to get a sky filled in. The flash light filled in the tent in 6 seconds.  This would be an easy photoshop fix (there is complete darkness between the sky and the tent) but I didn't do that - promise!
