Talk:Hunter Street, Sydney

Photos

wouldn't it be cool to put the historical and contemporary photos side by side? - I'll see if I can figure out how, and if it works or not.... :-) (thanks for the modern pic. Adam!) Privatemusings (talk) 06:51, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for that, I also have plenty of other pics taken around the city. Also there is a way to put the pictures side by side by using a double image template. I don't think it is possible to have them side by side in the info box though. There is an example of a double image template in the Railway Square, Sydney article. When I get some more time tomorrow I could look into it for you. Cheers ***Adam*** 11:01, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

the two pic.s at St._Andrew's_Cathedral,_Sydney work (almost) quite well too - being almost the same angle, though 100 years apart - you can really see the development etc. - maybe it's more an issue of placement on the page rather than infobox / technical stuff - I'll try and find some time to tweak the article to see what's possible....

I have managed to put the images side by side. I might need to photo shop some of the shaded area's out of the modern day pic though. I might even re visit the scene and try to match the historical pic a bit better. I might also try and match some of the other historical photos with modern day photos so people can compare the difference. Also I think the modern day pic is disappointing in the fact that it shows how we have destroyed many of our heritage buildings and replaced them with crap.

that looks great to me, Adam! - and you're right - it is depressing. See Miranda Devine in the herald today :-( Privatemusings (talk) 02:07, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

If you have any historical city pics that you would like to see the modern equivalent of please let me know. I plan on going into the city at least once a week (weather permitting) to practice photography. Cheers ***Adam*** 06:32, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

< I think we could pretty substantially improve the layout and pic.s at the hyde park article - there's a few historic ones in there which I personally would love to see re-taken as closely as possible - that sort of thing really appeals to me for some reason! ps. - are you a member of the 'wikimedia australia' chapter by any chance? - if not - are you interested in learning any more about it? :-) cheers, Privatemusings (talk) 10:37, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

I might head off to Hyde Park tomorrow, weather and health permitting. Before I go I will print the historic pictures and take them with me and try to match them up as closely as possible. I might even try to match the the photo taken on the corner of Hunter and Elizabeth Streets and maybe a few others. I haven't heard of Wikimedia Australia chapter, may I ask what it is.

I managed to get a few modern shots of Hyde park and other places around the city. I will upload them over the next few days. Cheers***Adam*** 12:32, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

sounds great :-) - I look forward to seeing them! - if you're up for getting together in the real world, then it's worth thinking about adding your name at Wikipedia:Meetup/Sydney - where I, or someone, will happily explain how the chapter works, and why it's a good thing to get involved with :-) basically it's an organisation for those involved with, or wishing to support wiki work, and free culture in general - if that sounds like your cup of tea, then come along :-) best, Privatemusings (talk) 00:03, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

I managed to get 2 shots shots in Hyde park, this on of the fountain and this one of the path that leads to the corner of College and William. I may upload in a few days as I have many different versions to go through. I will return to Hyde park at a later date to take some of the other historical pics that are in the article. As for the Wikipedia meet ups it might be a little difficult for me to get involved in that as I am very busy in the real world.

Also, I have added photos to the Rowe Street, Sydney article as well as the Pitt st and King Street articles. Check them out. Cheers ***Adam*** 01:56, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

I've just added the pics to the Hyde park article. Nothing special. I might try to retake some of them at a later date ***Adam*** 07:33, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Disambiguation style
