Ok, turns out it's not so hard to upload ~20GB of data.
The files are now available on the following web address. I'm not
really sure how well my server's going to handle this so please, don't
go too crazy, please don't download the tar files if you don't really
need them or aren't likely to do anything with them. Feel free to
browse through the individual JPEGs though. If I find this is causing
any problems I will just turn off the server. Also if you can wait
until next week to get the full set then please do.
That said I'm hoping there won't actually be any problems, I'm running
thttpd to keep things lightweight and I should have enough bandwidth
to spare.
... actually now I've got the larger tar files up it seems thttpd
won't serve them because they're too big so I recommend that if you
want to download a tar, download the 1600 one then use that to find
images you're interested in and then download the large versions of
the RAW files manually (or using a script).
URL for the files is: http://78.46.66.234/
I've put a robots.txt on the server that disallows all robots, it
seems a good idea to stop this temporary store from being indexed.
Obviously if you're using a robot to download images that's fine in
general, just try not to hammer the server, if the robots.txt causes
you problems then let me know and I'll see what I can do.
Though the server that these are hosted on is my own I should say
thanks to http://www.moneyextra.com/ as it's their office connection
I've used to upload the files.

To translate "just over 20GB on my snow leopard" -- that's exactly
19GB in real terms, or 20.46 billion bytes.
If you want just low res jpegs, that's just under 1GB, or if you
want only high res (and extremly high quality) jpegs that's almost
exactly 8GB (a few of them can be weeded out manually on copy, like
the ones of my gps set at the end) -- the rest is raw files for
completness.
I'll be making the GPS trace available to anyone that want's it too,
I forgot to include them in the data I gave to John.

Ok, just to let you all know, I have the images on my laptop so
should be fine for taking them down to the AGI next week. It's
showing as just over 20GB on my snow leopard base 10 laptop ;-)
I'm tempted to try uploading them to my server but I imagine it'll
take too long so basically I'll make no promises, but see what I can
do.
Anyone who's at the conference and wants a copy can feel free to
ask, though it'll be BYO external HDD/gigabit ethernet cable,
multiple USB keys probably won't cut it as it'll be too much of a
pain to split them up.

I had a gps set with me, and geocoded the images, but the geocoding
seems to be off by hundreds of meters (2-3 seconds).
I even corrected for time error (with the photo of gps set thing),
I suspect there is some lag in the display of my gps set.
side note, the new images are up at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/thingomy/sets/72157622360497142/
-- I appologise if there is duplication of any type.
@john -- when and where do you want to meet up? I'm busy on friday
but can do any time before then.

JR lives just around the corner from me so I should be able to get
a copy of the photos onto my laptop. I'm going to the AGI
conference next week so if anyone wanted they could then take a
copy from me. I might even be able to host them though as he says,
it's liable to be just a difficult to navigate collection of
filenames.
Yes please - do bring the images to the conference for me and
anyone else. Thanks.
JR - did you take a GPS trace while you were up in the plane?
Oddly enough that might help me with the hosting.
The images on Flickr are geocoded so I assume he does have a gps
trace.

For whoever asked for more wide area images, I went through the
collection and picked some more. As such there is a batch of 128
of them uploading as we speak, I will put them in a proper set
once they are done, but in the mean time anyone desperate can
look here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/thingomy/
I have all of these at 12MP (or for the few images taken with my
backup camera 10MP) if anyone wants one or 2 of them at full res,
let me know, I can email them to you.
Please let me know how much use these are for people -- I expect
the main use for them will be visual reference when making edits.
@peter -- It's funny -- I picked a diferent view of the same
peice of the town to warp.
I suspect that there is a hill in that logation messing things up.
I would say that rectifying images in this way only works in
areas where we already have a lot of detail, as such it's only
really useful for special purposes like adding extra fine detail.
Would other people agree with me there, or am I over reacting
again?
@franky -- thanks.
RE tresspassing, that is the only thing that I miss after the
move from scotland, we have the "Land and Countryside Act" which
explicitly states that you can go pretty much anywhere you like,
there are of course a bunch of exceptions, but in this case, you
would be perfectly within your rights to trace out hedges to your
hearts content.

I'm not planning to put them all online in the short term --
while flickr would be able ot hold all 10GB of data, it would be
an almost imposable ot access format.
The photos look great btw. Such a nice day for it!
Thing this one is my fav so far:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/thingomy/3909552809/in/set-72157622214942341/
It'll be great to be able to tag individual fields and hedges -
this is almost impossible to do from the ground (unless you're a
fan of trespassing).
I have been playing with warper and here is my first result. It
seems to need a good number of control points but it is certainly
a useful tool. Can one rectify a number of images and then stitch
them together into a single image that can be used in Potlatch I
wonder?
