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 I was trying to get horo35 to strip and do his laundry....can't even to get him to clean his clothes for a reenactemnt of a movie.... ;) he was too worried too worries more BBM fans would stumble on him...... OH and do you think he'd sit around for our OWN dozy embrace ??? he was too excited that he had found the spot!! LOL it was so cute to watch him all excited.... I just can't believe that these site are in my own backyard and I never knew it.

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
