I'm giving away a new High-Res sIBL every month.
If you missed a month, you can still find the download in the sIBL Archive. Some of them are also on display in the HDR Panogallery and the Flash Panogallery.

All these panos are shot with a Nikon D200 and a 10.5 mm Fisheye, stitched into fully spherical HDR panoramas with PTGui and Hugin. If you want to know more about the process, get the HDRI Handbook. You'll also find a whole year's supply of HighRes sIBL sets on the companion DVD.

Ahhh... Monument Valley! Technically, this isn't even US territory. We're on Indian grounds here, surrounded by holy mountains.

This sIBL set is for all your car lovers out there. There's shooting opportunities in all directions: Either towards the sun to get a strong backlight, or in the opposite direction to get some red glooming mountains in the background. Scene contrast is pretty high, and you'll notice that the 8k background panorama is tonemapped for maximum sharpness and detail (panoview here).
