Hi Lew- Thanks for coming back! A few weeks ago (and I wish i'd bookmarked it now), I saw an article where someone had mounted a polished silver ball on a tripod, mounted the camera on an arm on the same tipod, and did an inverse 360 image, for what I believe was creating a HDRI image. My understanding at the time was that by taking a spherically distorted image, and then mapping onto a spherical environment, would cancel the fish-eye effect out ... I have a Fuji S7000 - a couple of years old but a decent camera. I have the equipment (well apart from the chrome/mirror ball if needed at all), the environment and the time, just not the experience on how to go about making a HDRI image. Appreciate any pointers you can give me thanks! (If I find that interesting URL again, I will post here) Kind regards
