HDRI Environment + Backplates

A while back I shot a bunch of HDRI environment domes and plates down the coast here in South Australia, which is home to films like Mad Max: Beyond the Thunderdome and the lesser known (but I reckon pretty great) Salute of the Jugger starring Rutger Hauer. Anyways, I've finally got around to assembling the HDRI, and I'd love to know what you think. I've included a few example plates, and some quick IBL test renders in Octane with Mike Pan's BMW. I'm not a 3D expert, but I think the results aren't bad.
