Beautiful work above as per your usual. ROTL
I basically learned from experience and from reading/watching a few free tutorials. Never took a course. But images are only a hobby for me, a passtime, so that's ok. But if you're thinking to do it at a serious level, you should take a course because it gives you a solid foundation.
I don't calculate the lighting, I define it. There are many settings that need to be defined: position, angle, color and type of light source; balance between direct and indirect light; strength of photon bouncing effect; overall atmosphere glow; amount, color and altitude of haze and fog (which also contribute to the perceived lighting); altitude of the atmosphere (which also contribute to the lighting because it lightens or darkens the sky, which also reflects light below); effect of the atmosphere decay as consequence of the time of day; grade of the light/shadow transition; intensity of shadow from the light source.
And then there are also the gamma settings and the render settings, some of which also contribute to the perceived lighting, but I won't bother you with those.
