Quote - why is it rotated? did you move the camera? 

No I did not.

I first started out doing the Envosphere tut. In the tut, we were told to lower our focal length to 15. My default is 100. I did that at first and then just moved my camera forward using the controls in the document window.

Next I went on to do the IBL Generator tut. I deleted out of the old scene and made a brand new one. I made my document preview dimensions 400X400 as it's usually 1024X800.

I added my Envosphere, applied my image in the materials room, enabled raytracing and set it to two bounces. I then rendered.
