@ThomasBommelWeishaeupl thanks for you inputs, I figured out all this those past months, experimented a bit with color balance, for now it is just “okay I want my tungstens for the subject to be warm and my background / shadow to be blue”. Baby steps, I tend to be slow 🙂
I worked my medium and close shots, and kind of get some decent results, but I just can’t get a satisfying wide shot. I have to put more efforts into it.
To be honest I think there is something flawed in my methodology, I need to study a bit more as I can’t figure everything just by myself.
I keep thinking about two things Roger Deakins said: – light it the way you see it in your head and – if there is no story there is nothing to practice (as quoted by someone who attended a Q&A). And as of now I still can’t see clearly what I want my image to look, and I have no story whatsoever – I am definitely not a writer. I feel those are more blocking than the lack of lighting gear.
Anyway I should be back to studying already!
@Sir_fromsworth, unfortunately, I do not plan to publish these on youtube, they merely are a beginner sandbox, I was thinking maybe posting some screenshot here -if allowed- for members to critic my tests.
@dmullenasc, I think I am a bit insecure about that, I wanted my tungsten light to be white and have some difficulties judging this on my monitor, I couldn’t tell if going to 3200k to accommodate the “kelvin rating unknown” practical added some yellow to my key tungsten light. Anyway, thanks for your input, after reading it I took some time to play with different WB, to explore a bit more the creative possibilities this settings offer.
