Using a VRay Physical Camera is no piece of cake. If you don't have a comprehensive understanding of photography, you better use the regular Max camera, instead. Also, the Physical sky/sun feature can also be tricky, so my advice is for you to carefully read the help files and understand each parameter before using it.

Some suggestions. Change color mapping to reinhard -- adjust burn value and other values in reinhard to suit your scene. Don't forget the fstop on your physical camera as well as the intensity multiplier on your sun.

 

Good luck -- send me your scene if you need help.

..for the physical camera settings, this site has proven invaluable to me as a starting point.

...as for the colors, start by reading the manual.

 

Turbidity - this parameter determines the amount of dust in the air and affects the color of the sun and sky. Smaller values produce a clear and blue sky and sun as you get in the country, while larger values make them yellow and orange as, for example, in a big city. For further info, please see the Examples section.

 

Ozone - this parameter affects the color of the sun light. Available in the range between 0.0 and 1.0. Smaller values make the sunlight more yellow, larger values make it blue. For further info, please see the Examples section.
