Here are some pics I took awhile ago of some mountains I thought that looked nice.  I was looking at one scene from the movie and I realized that was the same mountains in this pic I took.  I dont think I was in the right spot but I was definately looking in the right direction. Wow... Stroke of luck I guess! 8)

This area is what you see when approaching the major campsite seen in the movie.  You walk down this  rather large hill and come to the hill where they fight on, the dozy emrace scene and the pole bridge.  As you can see it's quite the scenic area!

1st scene you will pass is the fight scene.  I thought from looking at the movie they were way up in the mountains somewheres but this is actually a small hill located in a valley.  I was surprised with the location.  2nd pic I'm sitting where Ennis sat but they somehow used a different shot.  Ennis looks quite close up while that little dot in the corner..well thats me.   Im not that good with photography... But the other shot of my wife turned out better.  It is a very beautiful area.

Horo35 and iluvchocolate:

Thanks for the amazing photographs and the commentary, too.  Even more thanks for including the movie shots, too, so we can compare the shots.  The scenery sure is beautiful! 

Toast:  Thanks for steering me in this file's direction.  IOU!

Well after the hill scene right away you notice the pole bridge.  Not sure who built it but it's fairly sturdy...not sure if one needs it cause Goat Creek is quite small and shallow as you can see.  Well I posed right by where Jack sat and sure enough there was a big stick sittin right there..so I just had to grab it and do the laundry thing!  But I did leave it at the same spot for someone else next time.  I was going to get buck naked but figured maybe that was going too far!! :laugh:

Hi horo35...your pics are truly amazing and I enjoy looking at them very much.  In the view of the mountain with the truck you state "...from the movie it looked like they super-imposed it somehow...it looks larger in the movie."

In comparing the movie still to your shot, noticing the narrow width of the curve in the road and the tops of foreground trees, it appears to have been filmed from a greater distance and a higher elevation than yours.  Additionally, the movie camera with it's super tele-photo lens compresses the scene, making the mts appear larger and closer.

Again, your shot of the truck driving away with the outhouse visible is just the opposite; the movie still was taken from a closer view.  Notice the tops of the trees in your shot and the expanse of sky, compared to the movie still.  I caught this immediately because  the diagonal tree trunk just to the right of the truck in the movie still is much larger, indicating it was a much tighter crop. 

I pick up on a lot of these subtle things, having been a professional photographer.  The camera you are using (and I know nothing about it) is probably not the kind you would use to exactly duplicate a movie still, but you are showing the general locale, and that is the important object for this project.  Keep up the good work...Doug
