Interactive gigapixel image of Everest

This is a great interactive image of Everest and area. The two billion pixel image, which you can view and interact with by panning and zooming here, is comprised of nearly 400 separate shots taken with a 300mm lens. The panoramic photo was captured from the Pumori viewpoint near Mount Everest, and as well as examining the dramatic Khumbu Icefall in the center of the frame, you can zoom in and see people roaming around the Everest Base Camp below.

24x360 is a purely artistic and experimental project using lightp painting and Timecode 360 with 24 cameras.
The project was born after a very intense year mounting ans unmounting our rig in various live events.
