"The Birds" by Hitchcok Photo

Photographer’s Note

I took this shot yesterday from my trip to kavala, I noticed a numerous birds flying simultaneously so I pointed the lens outside of my cars window and without knowing what I’m shooting at I pressed the shutter button several times.
The result reminds me a horror film by Alfred Hitchok I watched when I was a kid

Hi Sifis

A very wonderful catch you made here - If it wasn't for the fine sunlight could this very well be a scene from that very famous movie.

Thanks Jeppe

Great shot. For sure not an easy shot, as exposure is hard to get it right in a situation like that. Great idea.

Τυχερός είσαι που αποθανάτισες αυτή τη σκηνή! Εξαιρετικό στήσιμο έστω και τυχαία! Φανταστικό κοντράστ μεταξύ των πουλιών και του φωτεινού ουρανού!

Fantastic & scary photo. Nice shadows over the red-fire sky.

olspar7 (212) 2006-05-09 9:11

Wow! It is amazing how sharp the bird profiles are and the exposure of the sunset is great along with it. Out a car window? Fabulous shot.

Propofol (1786) 2006-05-09 9:45

What a striking image! Have you tweaked your sky at all? It looks surreal.

Bravo!

Hi Sifis
Excellent dramatic shot with all these silhouettes against the colourful sky and menacing clouds. Good having the off-centred sun.

Μάλλον άργησα να σε ανακαλύψω Σήφη. Αλλά από την άλλη πλευρά, ποτέ δεν είναι αργά. Μαγευτική φωτογραφία. Αν ζούσε ο μεγάλος Άλφρεντ σίγουρα θα την επέλεγε για αφίσα στο "Πουλιά 2".
Φιλικά, Ηρακλής

bertolucci (12022) 2006-05-11 17:04

Hi Sifis, great light and contrast here! The gradients, the silhouetted birds, the sun rays make this a marvelous natural graphism!

The Birds by Hitchcok was in B&W, but your picture is very impressive. It could be "the remake of the Birds" ;) The colors make me feel like the Hell in the movie Constantine !

Σήφη γειά σου,
όντως Χιτσκοκική φωτοφραφία με τα τόσο πουλιά στον κατακόκκινο ουρανό που νομίζει κανείς ότι έγινε έκρηξη.Αποθανάτισες μιάς σπάνιας ομορφιάς στιγμιότυπο.Εξαιρετική δουλειά.
Σε χαιρετώ,Δάνος

Hello Sifis,

The silluetts of the brids look amazing here.
I love your whole gallery!
Warm regards,

blueswan (0) 2009-06-29 14:53

Sifis I agree. The birds very cool Alfred Hitchok film. And so is your photo. What did make those birds attack in the film? Lighting a match???? Nice shot.
