Zoom in on the top of half dome. There are a bunch of people hiking here and there that you can find.

Pretty cool Darin, thanks. They should use that for X-games instead of those pansy wooden ramps.

 

[Mr. Sir]

Wow! That is way cool!

 

[Old Monkey]

Try to count up how many people you can find in that picture.

 

[Paul B]

I was trying to date the picture by the fashion but its just not clear enough, I suppose at the resolution it must be a fairly recent camera.

 

[MasterBlaster]

That's one hella camera!

I'd be hang gliding down!!!

 

[tntree]

That is a hell of a camera, is the picture stitched together?

 

[sotc]

I didn't find anyone but didn't look too long, sweet resolution

 

[Mr. Sir]

I found 22 people so far.

 

[simplypete]

and one hawk.

 

[Jason Gairn]

If you zoom out fast you can see the original picture edges ghosting a bit. Stitched together from quite a lot of images. I've counted 108 people. I'm sure there are more in the forest.

I'm sure there are more in the forest.

tweeker.

 

[The Tree Doctor]

I think I saw a bear taking a dump.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Very cool indeed.. I think I found NoBivy climbing on the face...
JK

 

[sotc]

tweeker.

Hahaha

 

[Tree Reb]

I think I found NoBivy climbing on the face.

The time thing is a real problem for me sometimes.

No, hang on I found him.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

 

[Mr. Sir]

... I've counted 108 people...

I'll have what he's having.

 

[gf beranek]

That's sweet.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Here is another hi rez project of Yosemite one of my customers sent me. I actually found climbers on El Capitan. Pretty dang cool. You pick one of the pictures on the map and zoom in.

There's something depressing about this level of "capture" of a wild and beautiful area. 'Course, it's equally distressing to have so many humans there in the first place.

I am an odd duck, no doubt.

 

[stig]

To me , once they put fixed tie-ins on a rockface any wildness is gone.
Why not go the whole way and put an escalator in?

There's something depressing about this level of "capture" of a wild and beautiful area.

I can't imagine why - it's merely a photograph. No harm was done.

 

[treetx]

I agree it is disturbing. You go to those places to be away from people and prying eyes.

108... and that is just in the pic. Not exactly getting away from it all.

 

[Burnham]

Of course you can't imagine why, Butch. The concept of wilderness has no value to you.
