Mighty Everest

As a keen photographer, it would be impossible for me not to be impressed by the work of the filmmaker David Breashears and the non-profit organisation GlacierWorks in producing an incredible picture of Mount Everest and the Khumbu glacier. They took 477 pictures using a 300mm lens and stitched them together to make one huge image which you can view in detail.

Untitled-1 This is just one small part showing base camp where expeditions up the mountain start from.

You can see this project for yourselves at http://www.glacierworks.org/.

Sadly, the site uses Flash so iPad, iPod and iPhone users will not be able to view this.
