    Well done shot! Completely unrelated to Photography but rumor is that they're remaking that movie. http://www.nextmovie.com/blog/upcoming-movie-remakes/

    Loving your stuff here lately Rainbow. You most definately nailed the Hitchcock vibe.

    and now:

    "She combed her hair
    But once a year
    risseldy rosseldy
    mow, mow, mow,

    with every rake
    she shed a tear,
    rissedley, rosseldy
    hey bambassity
    nickety nackety
    retrical quality
    wilowby walowby
    mow, mow, mow"

    I learned it so I could freak my little sister out.

    Thanks, everyone!

    I was sitting at a red light on Halloween when I noticed "The Birds". Light turned green as I began grabbing my P&S (LX3) from my vest pocket. I did have the presence of mind to zoom out from 24 mm to 60 mm or so and take the shot while I was accelerating my vehicle in traffic...

    lol-- you know it's the song the little kids sang at the schoolhouse before the teacher led them safely single-file into the waiting arms of the birds right? :)

    Anytime kids sing in a horror movie it sticks with me.

    But you would still freak me out if you recited it...rolleyes1.gifroflrolleyes1.gif

    TTT...

    Just read that this weekend Bodega (CA), the filming locale, is celebrating the 50th anniversary of "The Birds". This Saturday, Tippi Hedren will be there signing autographs...

    I know. I wish they would STOP doing this. The original was amazing, you don't need to fix it in anyway. Great shot though, that's a lot of birds...and very creepy. This movie still gives me chills...it just goes to show how something we don't consider a threat could mess us up. :ivar

    Really. The time and money would be better spent on remaking crappy movies with the hope of doing better.
