Yes. About half way up the face, just to the right of all the avalanche paths.

It can be taken using any camera and any telephoto lens. You need to take multiple photos at high zoom (mag factor) typically using a motorised head (like Gigapan or Celestron Skywatcher Allview) to scan the landscape and take the shots and then stitch them using software.
A good article by Microsoft Research explaining the process - http://www.cs.princeton.edu/courses/arc ... apixel.pdf
Effectively you need the following:
1. Good camera with Telephoto lens
2. Panning head (preferably automated ones)
- Giga pan (http://gigapan.com/cms/shop/epic-pro)
- Celestron Skywatcher Allview, I just purchased this (http://www.celestron.com/astronomy/cele ... mount.html)
- This talks about how to build your own (http://brewzone.com/2008/11/10/diy-pano-head/)
3. Open source software (or potentially a hardware controller) to drive the head
- Open source Papywizard (http://www.papywizard.org/)
4. Stitching software (any of these)
- PTGUI, I use this (http://www.ptgui.com/)
- Microsoft ICE, free but limited controls (http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/ ... s/ivm/ice/)
- Hugin, Open source but tedious to use (http://hugin.sourceforge.net/)
- AutoPano Giga (http://www.kolor.com/image-stitching-so ... -giga.html)
5. Host tool/software and sites
- 360cities.com
- Krpano.com
- Microsoft HDview creator to host on your own site, needs an activeX plugin on the browser (http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/ ... vm/HDView/)
I just started playing with the above and it is really interesting!

Just another reminder that if I want to hang out with a bunch of people, I can just drive into town. I'm sure their population in climbing season is similar to the town I live in.

If you say so. Trust me on this. The people in EBC are nothing like the people in any town you can drive to.

I'm pretty sure that thing up there in the snow is a yeti. I heard they got a bunch ubm up there.mrchad9 wrote:So I've been looking at this photo more... Trying to figure out what this thing is... anyone know? It's 60% up the ice fall, just above the ladder. It isn't a rock or anything... there is nothing else like it. A warming up for hot tea and cocoa, maybe play some cards, before continueing up?thing.jpg
Also the prayer flag. Initially noticed the lower one, and now see there are several more. At first I thought this was camp one, but I think camp one is out of view on the right just as the ice fall ends. Looks like these flags are just positioned for good karma on a particularly exposed to avalanche portion of the route. There is fresh debris within the photo. Also note the group of three in the top right.prayerflags.jpg

It seems every time I study this photo, I find new things. What a great Christmas gift to us!

Well I'm glad someone finally said it. Everyone is hating on this place yet none one of the haters has ever even been there. I'm sure it is an interesting experience. Probably beats what most folks here have done in the last month.
