Guest Posted: Tue Mar 02, 2004 11:48 pm    Post subject: aerial photos, help please! First of all, sorry if this cross-post pisses anyone off. Let's not start a flame war over this okay, because I really need some help. One of my hobbies is Urban Exploration. For those of you who don't know about this, it's about exploring and photographing derelict or abandoned sites, or places where you just aren't really supposed to be. Please note, this is EXPLORING. Not vandalising or stealing stuff, or breaking and entering (we find other ways in). Today I spent most of the afternoon wandering the abandoned wards and theatres of the former Law Hospital. It's regarding this that I need some help. I figured that two NGs related to Scottish aviation might be able to help me. I'm looking for a decent resolution aerial photo of Law Hospital, post code area ML8 5ER. If anyone can help, I'll be eternally in your debt. And if I flamed you before, I'll take it back, honestly =P Back to top fox1 Guest Posted: Wed Mar 03, 2004 7:44 am    Post subject: Re: aerial photos, help please!

I take it you didn't get any contacts here Colin.? :-( http://www.uer.ca/forum_showthread.asp?fid=3&threadid=6671 I did a search and the above appears to be the only aerial view. I'm sure there must be more detailed views somewhere.. -- How's my posting? telephone 0800 0800 0800 0800 View my aircraft pictures: "http://www.jetphotos.net/showphotos.php?userid=1753" Back to top Steven Guest Posted: Wed Mar 03, 2004 7:50 am    Post subject: Re: aerial photos, help please!

And if I flamed you before, I'll take it back, honestly =P Ho Colin, Hope this helps, It's a bit of a bugger grabbing the pic though, as it's all done in patchwork. I've used this one previously...what I did was save each "patch", rename it, then glued them together using Paint Shop Pro. It can be time consuming though. You'll notice than the pic you save is a higher resolution than the main pic on the site. http://www2.getmapping.com/affiliates/gateway.asp?td_topheight=&submit=Continue&affId=308757&td_placename=&td_postcode=ML8%205ER&td_product=PRNT&td_topframe=&td_bottomframe=http://www.multimap.com/share/ecommerce/getmapbr.htm&td_bottomheight=80 OR http://makeashorterlink.com/?P21042897 You might also be interested in: http://www.earthetc.com "Earth Imagery", "United Kingdom". it requires a download to zoom, pan etc. The Glasgow section covers upto Wishaw and has Ravenscraig before it developed (50cm perpixel resolution) Edinburgh is 10 & 12.5 cm per pixel res.

Brilliant =D I didn't even know that existed. I've not been into this for very long, and was wondering if there was a UE presence on the Usenet.
