ok there are different descriptions of "panoramic" Do you mean a trye 360 panoramic ccamera? (rare item) a Fish Eye wide angle lens? Or a stitching of multiple pictures? Note to make a true HDRI pic, from what I recall you need multiple pictures to combine them alll for the total necessary amount of luminance, but I don't know if that means you could merley copy one pic multipel times. I have heard of a panoramic series of camera images (multiple pics stitched together) being used to make an HDR but it's not somehting I know to much about :/
