Malibu Overlook
The trilogy is complete with this night shot. Only 40 minutes after golden hour, the lighting has shifted dramatically: all the city lights turned on, along with the positioning flares, all the while sunset is just beyond the horizon.
Love this HDRI so much, that it became the cover illustration for my book. In rendering it mostly provides colorful ambient light and lovely city reflections, but leaves the key lights up to you. Examples below are rendered without extra key lights, to show you the base line.
