I highly recommend you try it out a couple of times before you
attempt a valuable shot.
Setting up the ball and tripod and camera an then shoot a few
exposures is an exercise in itself and you really do not want to look
for details then. Also consider the tutorials to remove the
photographer/tripod out of the images you try to use. You can be
pretty sloppy with that unless you wish to use the HDRI also as
background. Recently I started to paint them myself with PS while
picking colors from a single ref pic and then just paint gradients
with the colors.... looks like a bad env map, but makes lighting
which rivals expensive commercial 'studio' HDRI.

Hi All,
After reading a bunch of stuff about HDRI image gathering on set,
I'm still a bit confused about the method of getting the Probe
Reference Shots and the Color Reference Shots.
The part of shooting the sphere on close (on 2 sides) with several
exposures and using HDRShop is pretty clear. But from where do you
shoot the reference shots??
Any help is appreciated, don't want to come back with half of the
images needed.
