Yes. I had, and I'm still having, a lot of trouble coming up with a lighting
system for outdoor scenes. This is a problem in all my POV work at the
moment. I've never been satisfied with using a simple lighting schemes.
Much of the effect you've mentioned is the result of the interaction of the
various light sources and the radiosity settings.

I made several experiments with atmospheric media, multiple fog layers,
lightsources, sky_spheres and radiosity without any satisfactory results.
I'm still experimenting and hope to have an improved lighting system for
the next round of the IRTC.
