Believe it or not, this row of cars was mostly white and silver paint jobs! Walking out to my car at about 10pm, I was struck by how ugly this street lamp made them look! This dingy yellow color showed up on my skin too (although it didn't photograph as well as the cars). When I saw this I was like "I'm gonna put a pin in this if I ever have to light using a street lamp as my source". I would probably use a saturate amber with a yellowish tint to it, and use a fresnel to get a clean wash (NOT a tonal, like I recently attempted... see I'm learning!).
fresnels are great street light sources! Fuzzy, washy ugly amber light definitely equals streetlight. :) You are learning! Great commentary! :)
