Oldham is not a suburb of Manchester. Oldham has it's own suburbs called Grotton, Garden Suburb, Lydgate etc. Stop poncing off us you thieving Manc twats, stick with your own burbs inside your massive 390,000 people metropolis.

just seen your pics caw, you get around abit!

That's more like it Caw, I was reading through this thread wondering where pictures of the real suburbs were. Boarded up shitholes reign!

from the frindges of greater Manchester rural burbs....

From Mellor, Stockport

From Lyme Park Stockport (just outside)

Oldham is a satellite township of Manchester with with some of its own suburbs yes, but it is a part of the 2.5 million metro area.

aww i miss trees!

Caw, have you got a zoomed in version of this?

http://www.skyscrapernews.com/images/pics/213StretfordHouse_pic7.jpg

Yeah but it's shit. The windows up there were filthy.
http://www.skyscrapernews.com/images/pics/939WestPoint_pic3.jpg

it looks alright, you got one including the quays too?

you need to get an exhibition site goin, i find that skyscrapernews' isn't very good.

Indeed

About time I got back trespassing.

nice one caw :okay:

Great pics Caw especially like the one of The Drum in Stretford. Has anyone been for a drink in there? I'm not hard enough.

Old Trafford always seems like a strange place to me. I was there last week, and you'd think that the powers that be at Trafford MBC care about Altrincham, Timperley, Urmston and Sale, but couldn't give a developmental flying fuck about the northern (Manchester) reaches of their borough. The area around Trafford Bar station is getting more run down and depressing by the day.

You'd also think that Trafford MBC would stump up some cash to make Old Trafford station area more attractive, for all the LCCC visitors to their borough.

Craig,, last time i went in there Utd had just won the title , and cos ive got ginger hair, half the pub started pointing and singing "theres only one Paul Scholes" embarassing or what. :)

About time I got back trespassing.

Wahey! Today I did. Went upto the top of the 15 storey Oakhill Court in Broughton Park. Could only see half of town though because the windows in the stairs didn't open very far. Great views over Salford, the Quays, Trafford and Cheetham Hill though. I'll get the photos up when I get my pc fixed, ie. bloody ages.

Why dont you just load them up in collage.

I can load them up onto this laptop right now, but I need Photoshop to edit them. I'm not downloading it onto this, I'd like to keep it clean of spyware.

Have you downloaded the Microsoft spyware software program. They will sort out your spyware problem. Thats the best program they have ever brought out.

..edited

I've got Photoshop 7 on the PC, downloaded it for free. But haven't got it on the system I'm using now. I'll find a free version of photoshop from somewhere.....

Or any other equally good, free program.

..edited

can't you just use paint?

How would I adjust the contrast, lighting, rotate by a couple of degrees(or as little as a 10th of a degree), add a watermark adequately in paint? Paint also does a horrid job of resizing!

awwww come on, we don't need to see them picture perfect. :runaway:

i have burbs pics but dont know how to get them on?

I've got Photoshop 7 on the PC, downloaded it for free. But haven't got it on the system I'm using now. I'll find a free version of photoshop from somewhere.....

Try the GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program, nothing to do with leather-clad sex slaves, or at least I don't think so) at www.gimp.org (http://www.gimp.org). Go to the GIMP for Windows link under the "Binaries" section and follow the links. You'll need to download and install GTK+ 2 before the actual Gimp for Windows installer. It's worth it though. It's one of the finest examples of open source software around and the number of plug-ins available from various sources on the internet is staggering.

I've tried that, it's just not right. It only lets you rotate images by either 90 or 180 degrees - useless!

Errr...NAY, LAD!!

Click on Tools -> Transform Tools -> Rotate. Rotation to a resolution of 0.01 of a degree.

Trust me. It's a fantastic program.

or you could download a demo of photoshop

Balls, I'll have to re-install the fucker! :runaway:

Is there any way to do a photoshop style batch process on the GIMP?

Is there any way to do a photoshop style batch process on the GIMP?

Not sure. Probably.

Actually, I found this ... http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Basic_Batch/

It looks like you'd have to learn a bit of the GIMP's scripting language (Script Fu) before attempting it though. A bit geeky.

Can't be arsed faffing around with the gimp. Went back on my word and downloaded photoshop off Limewire. Once again I felt a tad guilty when it said ''Thank you for choosing Adobe Photoshop''. Then again, who the fuck can fork out £200 for it?

I've got a backlog of 150 photos to edit, so they'll be a slow trickle for a few days.

Here's the beauty of Higher Brougton and the crime-free Mandley Park.

Fed up of the Manchester v Liverpool debate so I thought I'd post these of the former Budenburg building in Altrincham, looks like it will be quite classy when finished.

Oh and you can nock the two cranes that were here off the crane count

Nice.

Though I'm not sure the stepdowns quite hang right with the curves.

Unfortunately their built right next to a huge electric sub station and retail park!

Apart from that, they look very nice!

Bloody handy for B&Q though

Rather like Salford Quays - look the wrong way (towards Trafford) and it ain't that pretty - yet.

Bloody hell they thrown that up, only seem a couple of months ago the crane went up:) cheers for the update dj.

Thanks for those 'budenberg' pics dj. Foster and Partners' first project in Manchester. Lets hope it lives up to expectations but its looking good so far.

I'll be there everyday when its finished. Its got free wireless internet on the site.

one I took this evening from Werneth Low...
