Merry christmas to you as well, Lightbeam! Nice image. Always like your
realistic lighting... Got a homepage somewhere?

I visited the website you mention. I must say I very much like the 
concept and would love to experiment with it. However, I can't find out 
how to do this in POV-ray. Searching the documentation with "HDR", 
"Radiance" or "probe" returns no results. Could you point me to a place 
where I might find out how this can be done in POV-ray?

Thanks,
Maurice

POV doesn't support HDRI (yet), but you can convert a lightprobe to 
another format, wrap it on a sphere surrounding the scene for a 
reflection map.   You can also play around with exporting an HDRI probe 
at different EV settings with HDRShop and layering them with different 
ambient values and turn on radiosity to play around with 'faking' an 
HDRI scene.  (I tried once but got sidetracked...)

You will need to use MegaPov I think

If it were not for the fact that you cannot see a
camera reflected in the balls, I would swear this
was not a render but a photo.  Wow.
