swivle, whenever you post pictures and you are not the owner, you have to also post the copyright information.

[ZippyTheChimp]

There are two issues involving direct linking, sometimes called hot linking, that go beyond the courtesy of listing credit.

1. It deprives the owner of the image from getting traffic on their site. This has become an issue at pbase among serious photographers, who post images as samples of their work to attract sales or services. Many want the site owner to disable direct linking.

2. It may seem that posting the site url and copyright credit along with the image is a good tradeoff, since it gets the image owner exposure at other locations. However, this ignores the second issue, which is theft of bandwidth. When you direct link an image that is hosted on another site, you are using the bandwidth of that site to download the image. The site owner gets no traffic to his site, but he still pays for the bandwidth.

No problem, I'm normaly pretty good about it...won't let it happen again

ZippyTheChimp: There are two issues involving direct linking
Agreed Zippy, This is the first time I've hot linked on this forum (I think) ,
I normally use my host for the exact reasons you posted below.
I think all but two threads I created are using my host...and the only reason
I did not use my host then was because we switched servers and our site was down...
I have unlimited bandwidth (hot linking allowed), and I use it!

Clearly not realistic^. (Where's the new WTC?)

Thanks for the pics. Something they showed me, which I'd never noticed before, was the relative lack of highrises east and north of the Battery, and especially along the coast, until post-WW2. Makes you wonder if, had there been more buildings like that one outlier with all the setbacks, the downtown skyline wouldn't have been damaged as much by the likes of 55 Water and its waddling cousins.

Thanks Derek, for taking the time to find and post all of these great photographs.

[Derek2k3]

No problem, it's a lot easier than going out and taking my own. http://wirednewyork.com/forum/images/icons/icon12.gif

Interesting to see Manhattan island back in 1609, of course, not an actual photograph.

Thanks for posting those Derek. They look quite recent, too.

What? I feel cheated...

On a serious note, that last batch of pictures posted Derek, are they enhanced in photoshop or something? The colors seems much... well, better, than any other aerial photos I ever see.

[scumonkey]

I'd say YES:

Thanks very very much for posting the pictures of Manhattan from the air.

I saw Pearl Jam at Downing Stadium on Randall's Island September 29th, 1996. That was the best concert I've ever been to, an absolutely amazing experience. There were people lining the Tri-Borough bridge overpass trying to get a view of the Show, they played for over 3 hours. Intense.

Yup. April 13th.

I really, really hate that suburban strip mall development shown in the first photo... http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3417/3477841663_ed34c782ce_o.jpg

I've been there. It's a PetCo, movie theater, and maybe a starbucks? It even has a quasi drive-in area. I wonder what the deal with that is. But that's off topic so I will say that it simply detracts from the density in those first photos.

[lofter1]

No doubt we'll soon have a whole batch of New Aerial Shots of Downtown (http://www.wirednewyork.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20903) Manhattan, paid for by the taxpayers of the USA.
