Favourite Street View Painting Locations

[Johnnie]

A fantastic view Johnnie, although that is a private photograph and you would need to contact the photographer for permission to use it.

Street View camera pictures may be used, see post #1.

I deleted it so you don’t get into trouble..

That view tho was taken for the Google camera that they used on top of the Niagara Tower with restaurant on top

Spread Kindness Like Confetti !!

When the photo has the photographer’s name top left you have to contact the photographer for permission before you use it. I have been successful in the past, but I couldn’t find the email of the photographer on this occasion.

Hi Doug. I am curious, isn’t there hectic perspective distortion from the G Map cameras?

As long as there is light, I will paint it.

[Yorky Administrator Ormskirk]

Yes, the Streetview pictures are pasted together from multiple wide angle cameras and there can be lots of distortion, particularly for angle shots. I find zooming in reduces the distortion for distant views.

Here is my home town, Gelnhausen, Germany. I hope my skills get good enough to paint this entire village someday.

Thank you Susan, I love the timber-framed houses in Germany.

Everything is possible, post yours in digital showcase tomorrow. I would honestly be delighted to see..

This is a remarkable scene, oil pumps as far as the eye can see.

I was led to the place reading ”A Kingdon from Dust” about Stewart Resnick a billionaire “farmer” who monopolises the water resources of large parts of southern California and grows Pomegranates, Almonds and pistachio nuts in huge tracts of Kern County and produces POM.

Yes that scene did change our world and lives over 100years ago.

I have been wanting to paint a nodding donkey and this is the first time I have come across an oilfield. I like painting mechaical things.

Watching a new urban sketcher Róisín Curé I thought I would look for her painting locations in the south-west tip of Ireland.

Location on Street View.

A wonderful place to explore.

Hi, I didn’t read all 16 pages so I’m sorry if this has already been posted. But Google has captured nearly all of Venice for Streetview. On foot & by boat! I was lucky enough to go in person a couple years ago, but I spent hours exploring on Streetview first.

[jow104]

Thanks, a link to the Venice page you have seen would be interesting.
(touch the url and go to edit and tick copy and then paste here if so inclined)

[Yorky Administrator Ormskirk]

Yes, Google has extensive Street View on Google maps, you can explore all the canals and passageways if you zoom into Venice as posted earlier.

Found this after reading a holiday brochure. The village tumbles down the cliff into the River Lot.
