Ok how I export HDR is this, in Infinite:

File-->Export Sky

select UV SPHERE, and set the size to 3000 pixels or so, if you want a CLEAR background image. If you don't need a clear image, ie, say use depth of focus so background is ok to be blurry, or not even seen, 1000 or more will do.

makes aweosme pictures because it lights the scene exaclty as a the REAL sky does. The rela sky throws ligth down form all angle,s but in varying degress, that's why you never see a totally black shadow in real life outdoors.

I did that using an HDR of the scene's own sky ;)

not exaclty..that's how currently we have to take HDR pictures, because there is no camera film (or card) that can create ro store HDR images. See, the problem is, film (or digital media) only records COLOURS, it doesn't record true LIGHT OUTPUT, which is what HDRs do. TO simulate that, folkt ak emultiple exposures, and combine into an HDR on a computer. One day there iwll be hdr media, and so camera will be able to make hrd directly
