This is my version of the Creating grass course's material. In composition I tried to create a warm lighting with cool shadows. For this I rendered also the shadow pass. I have heard somewhere that tinting the shadows opposite to the lights helps to create better images. I wanted to test this out.
Since I didn't quite know how to get warm lights and cool shadows I created two Color balance -nodes - one for lit areas and another for dark. After adjusting the Color balance nodes to my liking I used a Color mix -node and the Shadow pass to mix them. This didn't work very well - though - until I set the Color mix - node to Add.
I'm quite happy with the result. Especially I like how the top of the tombstone stands out. I might like it more if the tone of the light was warmer but I couldn't get it to mix with the cooler shadow areas... or was it before changing the mixer to Add?
Well, here it is anyway.
