However the set up of a set may take anywhere up to an hour to think through and prepare, particularly if it's an indoor set possibly with an outdoor background and multiple areas to light. If it's a sunset then you just gotta bang it out before you lose the conditions or else anticipate the lighting set up in advance. If you factor in the location then I suppose I am designing the set way in advance because that takes months to research, book and prepare for.

Yes, as I thought - you are synthesizing complex factors easily and intuitively. You create what appear to be, as you say above, 2 seconds of time, when in reality each is a result of lengthening bars of preparation extending back from that instance to months before.
The last pic is captivating because the water reads as warm and almost spiritual, and by merging our view with it you kind of make the water our avatar.
