Trapcode Horizon is a camera-aware color gradient and image mapping tool. It is a fairly straightforward utility plug-in. It is meant to be used on the bottom layer in a 3D comp. It generates a background that corresponds to the camera’s viewing direction.
To get yourself started with the Trapcode Horizon Tutorial
Trapcode Horizon can be used for example when a 3D camera move leaves the viewer confused; Trapcode Horizon can help generating a background that corresponds to the camera move and thus help the viewer understand what is actually going on. Or it can be used just for fun!
Trapcode Horizon is a great companion to the other 3D plugs from Trapcode, such as Particular and Form etc.
Supported Hosts: Adobe After Effects 7.0 and higher (Mac OSX/Windows)

I would recommend you to start working with already made images to get used to it.
A great book (I own the German version) is this one:

In this book Christian Bloch describes how to produce HDRI Images.
The book covers:
* Understanding the foundation of HDRI
* Tools for a High Dynamic Range Workflow
* How to capture HDR images: now and tomorrow
* Tone mapping for creating superior prints
* Image processing and compositing
* All 4 ways to shoot panoramic HDRIs
