I create HDR images all the time for use in 3D but they are not really something you'd post to 'Look at', if you see what I mean, they are more of a 'tool' than a display item.

They are used in IBL, (Image Based Lighting), whereby the HDR image is, or contributes to, the lights in the scene. Mapped to a hemi-spherical environment this gives a more 'realistic' look to both lighting/shadows and reflections......nothing worse than seeing a reflection of something that isn't actually in the model!

Anyways, just saying that although I may not post any, I still create and use them on a regular basis....usually 5-7 exposures per image, thrown together in PS and saved out as an HDRI.....nothing more elaborate than that but HDR none-the-less.

Great image there hershy314, very eyecatching.
