Default Simple Lightning Question

Hi,
I am trying to recreate this picture: http://www.vnvnation.com/download/honour2003.jpg
The attached file is the very beginning of my model. I have trouble with the recreating the light in the above picture. Can some1 tell me what kind of light is being used and how to apply it on my picture?

TY in advance,
Martijn.

p.s. I am a noob so please bare my ignorance.

It looks as though an area light has been added to the front and left of the model (note the soft shadow edges across the front of the building). I'd say (from looking at it) that there is no other light being used (or maybe a very soft fill to the front right at most).
