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 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.

The pic looks good, I can even see where my youngest was born, and where they whipped my tonsils out :-) Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         AirTalk.org Forum Index -> Glasgow Airport All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Aviation----------------alt.aviationAviation safety EnhancementPlanes, gliders and flying in AustraliaAviation et pilotage (Français)rec.aviationAviation (Aerobatics)Hot air, gas balloons and airshipsHang-gliding, paragliding, foot-launched flightAircraft Design & BuildingInstrument Flight RulesAviation (Classifieds)Military AircraftNaval AviationAviation (Miscellaneous Topics)Owning AirplanesAviators (General Discussions)Aviation related productsAircraft RestorationHelicopters and rotary wing aircraftsFlight SimulationSailplanesAviation (Students)Light aircraftFlying related activities in the UK Airports----------------alt.airportsEdinburgh Airport Glasgow Airport Humberside Airport Luton Airport Aberdeen Airport Glasgow Prestwick Airport  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
