More sIBL-sets than you can eat!

Finally we have a proper archive, where all free sIBL-sets are collected in one spot. Not only will you find all past sIBL-of-the-months there, but also new contributions from our friends at HDR-VFX and Chris Huf. I dare to say this is the biggest free HDR collection in general, at least at this level of quality.

Happy Halloween, my friends!

A fresh wind is blowing through HDRLabs.

His name is Kirt Witte, he is a Professor of Visual Effects, and he contributed a great FAQ on all things HDR. While we're at it, I threw in a tutorial on embedding HDR images on a website (as seen on the infamous sIBL-of-the-month release pages), and my very first screencast on sIBL-Edit. Thus, the tutorial section is now officially open - certainly with much more cool content to come...

Reopened is the Hot on Flickr gallery. It's been down for a while because someone pointed out some flaws that wouldn't comply with Flickr's TOS. Specifically, the attribution wasn't as clear as it should be, and it was also pulling too many images from Flickr on a single page. I was wrestling the site code really hard, and now it gives full credit to the amazing people that make these images. As it should be. This gallery is meant to be a "Hall of Fame", providing exposure for the best HDR shooters on Flickr. And I fully agree, there can't be too much attribution given here.

Many more things have come up in the past weeks, and I haven't told you anything about my findings at Photokina yet. Will do this in the posts to follow, now that the site is back in good shape.
