The photo lets you see the stairs that can take you to the very top.
That's where I'd love to go, well on the computer, might be a bit steep for real!

Where can I see the final picture ! ?

Youtube doesn't do a picture that great any justice at all.

[Wind]

That is one huge picture!

Also this video is awesome... Or rather an experience. Use headphones while watching!

Binaural is the real deal. I'm building binaural recording rigs.

You don't have to wear a pair of mics to do it, infact, wearing the mics on your head is problematic. As your head moves, so does the stereo field. That can get quite disturbing for the listener.

You can simply use a dummy head and place the mics on it. The head stays perfectly still and the listeners experience is an open stereo landscape that holds steady and grand.

My latest acquisition is a pair of silicon ear dummies:

They have a 10mm hole in them that perfectly fits a Primo EM-172-Z1 electret capsule:

They are very simple to solder up and plug into a portable SD flash recorder, like the SONY PCM-M10 or one of the OLYMPUS equivalents. These modern recorders supply the power the capsules need right there from the preamp input socket. It's called PIP ( Plug-In-Power ).

Now that I've been listening to my own binaural recordings for a while, I don't ever want to go back to doing it with any other kind of microphones.

It seems really obvious to me that the way to go is binaural. More people than ever are listening to audio on headphones now. It would even make perfect sense to record music albums in binaural too.

Thanks for posting. That was amazingly clear and probably the nearest I will get to visiting Machu Picchu - the second film watched with headphones actually made me feel slightly nauseous which would probably have been the case had I really been there though I think it is Cuzco where you experience altitude problems.
