Speak up FrankB!
<giggles> what do you want to know exactly? How I achieved the lighting in a particular image? I'm happy to tell.
Otherwise, lighting to me keeps being a very individual topic for each scene. There's no magic one-size-fits-all atmosphere and lighting nodes, render effects or surface secret - at least, not as far as I can tell.
I'm trying to find the right mix during development of the scene, during the hundreds of test renders. Many a times, I must rely on postwork to make the image look more clear and dynamic, because it doesn't come out of TG2 the way I think it should, but that's ok.
So if you want to refer to any of my images in particular, I would be glad to tell what the settings were. Besides, I think you're not asking the right person - I'm just a hobbyist TG fan, but here on this forum are many individuals who make their living from things like these. Great artists and friendly people, just go ask them directly whenever you see an image posted with admirable lighting - I'm sure they won't hesitate to let you know ;-)
Cheers,
Frank
