Honey I shrunk the houses

#LowestoftSKYLINE T-14 upcoming  online resource to celebrate architecture of historic High St. Having solved the issue of a sloping street, we now had to place each building next to its neighbours, (in Photoshop) and MATCH the scale. Initially we did this by eye to an accuracy of 98%. So was suprised after 30 houses to find that compared to the first in the row it was HALF the size it should be! The Covid pandemic should have taught me all I needed to know about ‘exponential curves’ (R value anyone?). 98% x 98% x 98% x 98%… soon becomes 50%!

The solution (very low tech) - volunteer gets photographed holding a fixed length pole next to every fifth building and then we bring this digital figure into the computer, expanding/contracting the building until it matches the real world. 

As you can see from second photo (screenshot) we are now progressing well! More next week..
