He never spoke of his war experiences, including the flag raising, and his family wasn't aware of his having been awarded a Purple Heart and the Navy Cross until finding them after his death. His son James wrote a book, "Flags of Our Fathers", about the flag raising and chronicled the lives of the flag raisers. It was later made into a movie directed by Clint Eastwood. -p On 2/23/2019 3:59 PM, Daniel J. Matyola wrote: 1945 U.S. flag raised on Iwo Jima http://www.iwojima.com/raising/raisingb.htm https://ww2db.com/image.php?image_id=350 - - During the bloody Battle for Iwo Jima, U.S. Marines from the 3rd Platoon, E Company, 2nd Battalion, 28th Regiment of the 5th Division take the crest of Mount Suribachi, the island’s highest peak and most strategic position, and raise the U.S. flag. Marine photographer Louis Lowery was with them and recorded the event. American soldiers fighting for control of Suribachi’s slopes cheered the raising of the flag, and several hours later more Marines headed up to the crest with a larger flag. Joe Rosenthal, a photographer with the Associated Press, met them along the way and recorded the raising of the second flag along with a Marine still photographer and a motion-picture cameraman. Rosenthal took three photographs atop Suribachi. The first, which showed five Marines and one Navy corpsman struggling to hoist the heavy flag pole, became the most reproduced photograph in history and won him a Pulitzer Prize. The accompanying motion-picture footage attests to the fact that the picture was not posed. Of the other two photos, the second was similar to the first but less affecting, and the third was a group picture of 18 soldiers smiling and waving for the camera. Many of these men, including three of the six soldiers seen raising the flag in the famous Rosenthal photo, were killed before the conclusion of the Battle for Iwo Jima in late March. By March 3, U.S. forces controlled all three airfields on the island, and on March 26 the last Japanese defenders on Iwo Jima were wiped out. Only 200 of the original 22,000 Japanese defenders were captured alive. More than 6,000 Americans died taking Iwo Jima, and some 17,000 were wounded.

Re: Worldcon 76 (oops, more)
Oops, I forgot a couple of details. I had been wandering around showing off a metal print of this photo, which I considered worth showing off: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/42922334624 and someone bought it from me. It does work well in metal, and was meant as a test print, rather than a final product, so that was cool. She offered me $100 and it cost me $60 to print, so while it isn't a great markup percentage, I'm thrilled that my test print paid for itself. I had a few other people ask about buying it as well. It seems that metal is a good medium for selling, because it doesn't require expensive hanging and framing, and photos that work well in metal are the bright eye catching ones that tend to appeal to the masses. One of the major photographers in the local fandom community did a presentation on one of his projects, a series of portraits of authors and others in the field on a 4x5 camera. I can certainly understand the appeal of using that camera, but it really does not seem to be the optimal tool for the job of portraiture, particularly in situations of limited time, particularly at $5/frame. Larry Colen wrote on 8/20/18 5:19 PM: I just got home from Worldcon. I didn't take many photos. I did take a few in a panel on photographing costumes. I behaved myself and mostly kept my mouth shut. I also had a friend ask me to get some photos of her costume, and she's one of those young ladies that I find it very easy to say yes to. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157700437942465 I was pleasantly surprised by how many people understood the joke on my badge, which referenced this comic: https://xkcd.com/327/ At the end of the con they were selling off stuff that they no longer needed and I picked up a Pixma iX6820 printer for $65. I figure that it will be handy for when I want to print something that would be problematic at Costco. I also have a friend that would like some of my photographs on postcards. I know pretty much nothing about printing things myself, so would appreciate suggestions for ink, paper, and blank postcards. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com http://red4est.com/lrc https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/collections/72157612824732477/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Mark, Yep. I actually had a bunch of Adobe entries in the hosts file, but, apparently, Reader DC uses yet some different host/set of hosts.

You're right Ann, I missed the 2nd link with the cute pup in it; sorry. But I saw him on FB, and offered a caption, so hopefully I'm absolved. (Poor grammar? Whatevs. :) ) Play Here is full of fascinating detail. Looks like a neighborhood in transition? It reminds me I planned to study doorways in The Junction here. Storefronts similar looking to this one squeezed beside healthy establishments. Wonder if I can make the Sept PUG?

Re: Time for a new macro purchase--possible duplicate posting, oops
HI Barry - I have an older version of the Tamron - the 90mm f2.8 auto focus - and the DFA Pentax 100mm Macro (non WR). Both are excellent lenses but the biggsest difference I notice is the the Pentax has the quick-shift focus adjustment which makes manually fine tuning focus very quick and easy. With the Tamron I have to both pull the lens focus ring back to put it in manual focus mode *and* disable AF on the body. The two step process if very clunky (would be better to be able to juse disengage AF from the body.) Like I said, I have the film era Tamron lens, maybe the latest versions offer something more like the Pentax quick shift. To me that would be a significant issue. Optically both lenses seem to be excellent, though I bought the Tamron last year to use with film bodies and have not really tested it with a digital body.

Quoting Barry Rice : Hey Brian, Thanks for your input. You answered what was perhaps my most critical question. Good to see that Tamron has graced Pentax with a dedicated model, instead of just Canon and Nikon. Sadly one of the few. I think this and the 10-24 (which I also have) are the only two current Tamron lenses in Pentax mount. How does the focus on the AF Tamron feel? On a par with other 'screwdriver' drive lenses - certainly more than adequate for my purposes. -- Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://lyons-ryan.org/southernlight/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: Time for a new macro purchase--possible duplicate posting, oops
Barry - I can’t give you specific detailed comments on the two Pentax lenses. But I have never heard anybody complain about the image quality from any Pentax macro- that has always seemed to be a particular niche for them. Using them in AF mode is a challenge, they will tend to be slower than most non-macro lenses. But macros are mostly about manual focus anyway. I have the 100 DFA. I tend to use either the 35mm or 200mm macros and seldom pull out the 100mm, but have no hesitation using it when that focal length is called for. I am quite surprised to see the Amazon pricing on the two Pentax lenses. I would have expected the newer WR lens to be the same or more than the D FA; the Amazon links show the WR to be a couple hundred $ less? Now you’ve got me thinking… I may sell the DFA and switch to the WR.

Hi Barry Quoting Barry Rice : Hey Folks, Long time reader to this list, although I tend to be very sporadic. (By the way, sorry if this is a duplicate posting, but I reposted in plain text in case it was necessary.) It is! I had the 90mm f2.5 adaptall for many years, using it for much the same purpose as you - wildflower photography. Eventually I decided I wanted autofocus so I sold the adaptall lens and replaced it with the Tamron AF 90 mm f/2.8 Di. I haven't regretted the decision even though I haven't used it quite as much as I thought I would (so far). It's a fine performer and I don't think you'd be disappointed if you bought one. It can be used in both autofocus and manual modes and it's not an adaptall lens. I can't comment on the two Pentax lenses.

PESO Oops
I wasn't planning on taking any photos tonight. I was sitting at my computer, and heard a familiar squeel-thump! Though it was more of a clang than a thump. I grabbed my cell phone and camera and walked up to the twin bridges. As I walked up I called 911 when I saw a car facing southbound in the northbound lane, with a wheel sitting some distance away. There were several people standing around. None of them were the drivers of the cars, though one rather inebriated fellow had been a passenger. The drivers, one definitely drunk the other likely high on something else, both hightailed it off on foot, in opposite directions.

Some are open and savannah-like. Others wooded. A group of women went to battle a couple decades ago to prevent the state DOT from putting an expressway through the neighborhood into the heart of the City. They won and then went to work getting the parks restored to their original condition as Olmsted and his sons conceived them. What I think was the last phase -- putting power lines and telephone cables underground and installing turn of the century street lights alongside the last of the parks -- was completed this summer. My thought back last winter was to use a tripod and take long shots at different times of the day each season of the year in each park, starting as they came back to life in the spring. So far all I've got is a few hand-held shots in one of the parks. I guess I can start anytime I want. -- Eric Weir eew...@bellsouth.net "Human coexistence and social life constitute the good common to us all from which and thanks to which all cultural and social goods derive." - Zygmunt Bauman -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Judging from the recipes, your curry must have been delish. And yes, collards need more than 20 minutes. Two hours, which some swear by, is not necessary. 45 minutes is probably sufficient.

My Dad spent all day in the kitchen every Sunday. He was a great cook. Introduced us to all kinds of international foods long before they became so common. He made a mess. Used practically every pot and pan and dish in the house. Guess who had to clean up. I got good at it. Still am. When I'm cooking there's usually a pot of soapy water in the sink. Things get washed up as I go along.

Yeah, I thought about that as I was composing the response. The difference, for me anyway, is that even though the Mac is pretty locked-down, too --not really, though -- the Apple people seem to understand human beings better, to know what they're looking for, what will work for them. Everything works. Straight out of the box. It's unobtrusive. In contrast, MS's attempts to be "helpful" almost always irritated the hell out of me. On Mar 6, 2011, at 11:34 AM, P. J.

To think, all the time lost to that failed effort when I could have gone to work immediately if I'd gone straight to Mac in the first place. I do have to say, if I'd been working with a new machine, not even necessarily a high-powered one, just adequate, Unix mighta worked out fine for me. As I was, my thinking was, "If I can get a have decent installation running on this old junk, I'll buy a new machine."

Starting with the K-series DSLRs, Pentax abandoned its old TTL flash metering all together.

This system had been in use, in various incarnations, since the Pentax LX (1980). The P-TTL system no longer meters flash output during exposure, but use a preflash. For P-TTL to work, it needs aperture and focal lenght information from the lens. Thus it can only work with FA- series lenses and newer. So with a reveresed-lens-on-tubes setup, there's no flash metering at all. Would use of flash in this kind of photography be necessary? It is absolutely necessary. To achieve at least a nominal depth of field, you need to stop down to f/11 or f/16. In addition, you lose a couple of stops worth of light through the extension tubes. However it's not as bad as it seems. A good quality flash (just avoid Sigma and you're good) will provide the same output every time when set to manual. When you work with a reversed lens, your working distance is constant. So effectively, the same combination of flash, aperture and lens setup will provide the same result every time, regardless of ambient light.

A friend needed a photo of herself to use in a yellow pages ad, and possibly for her website. She ended up paying me on the high end of what I'd charge a stranger, so I had no problem with setting up a second photo shoot to get a better photo for her website. Since she's a lawyer, I asked if we could do some photos in a courtroom, it wouldn't show a lot in the background, but you can usually tell from the background. Yesterday, she was involved in some student trial competitions, and arranged with someone to be able to get some photos afterwards. I headed down to the Watsonville court, we went into an empty courtroom and were taking a variety of shots. I had my speedlight on a cable, on the end of my monopod, which basically seemed to work pretty well. I was having some odd problems getting the lighting the way I liked, but I got some shots that looked like they'd be usable. A few minutes before we were done, someone stuck his nose in the room and it turns out that the court does not allow people to use photos taken in the courtroom for commercial purposes. It seems there was a big stink a while back when a lawyer got in, and managed to use the court to film a TV commercial. The Santa Cruz court doesn't want to give any appearance of favoritism, so it doesn't allow anyone to use it. Oh well. We decided to try getting a couple of shots in front of the court house. I was setting up the camera for shooting outdoors when I realized that the ISO was set at 1250. That explained some of the odd problems I was having, I was getting too much exposure from the ambient light, which also, it turns out, messed with the color balance. I got a couple of pretty good shots out in front, and to be honest, I think i may have dodged a bullet in not being able to use the shots that didn't turn out nearly as well as they should have. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: OT: OOPS! The ongoing saga ...
Status update: I previously had Microsoft Office 98 and Photoshop CS & CS2 installed on this system. I uninstalled them to recover the space for newer programs. The only problem uninstalling is MS Office prompts for the installation disk - can't uninstall without the installation disk (which I'm pretty sure is in Raleigh somewhere). There is, fortunately, a work around. You can install a free MS Office 2003 Software Developer's Kit that has a tool to uninstall previous versions of Office without the disk. (Just uninstall the SDK after you've uninstalled Office.) I uninstalled the Photoshop CS2 first, then uninstalled the Photoshop CS components. The CS5 installation went fairly smoothly. Only one minor glitch. Installing from an upgrade disk, I had to identify the qualifying product and provide the S/N for that product. Didn't find Photoshop CS3 on the drop-down list, so I chose CS3 Extended. Installation program didn't like that, but the drop-down list on the *error page* DID include Photoshop CS3. Everything went smoothly from there. Bonus: Now when I double click a JPEG or a PEF file, it opens Adobe Bridge CS5 to the folder where the JPEG/PEF file is located, so I can see all of the JPEG/PEF files located in the folder as thumbnails. I can right click any or all & select "open in Camera Raw", giving me the latest version of Camera Raw for CS5. HOORAY!!! Peculiar glitch with Open Office - kind of funny in a dumb sort of way. After the installation, you can register the software. To register, you must have to have an Oracle.com account. It's free. You just select "create account" and you get an on-line form. The form prompts you to choose a "*user name" ... and fill in your *first name, *last name, company name, *email address ... (* == mandatory fields). When you finish the on-line form and click *submit*, it errors out and tells you that you have the wrong format for your "user name" because it's not an email address. I kid you not! You'd think a database company could figure out that if they want an email address in the "user name" field on the form, the instructions should tell the user to enter their email address there. Especially since the form has another required field where the user does have to enter their email address. 8-D == I still have to figure out what I'm going to do about the fragile power supply on this system. And, I have limited hard-disk space, although I already have plans for dealing with that. I'm coping for now. My *BIG* new 32" monitor is working fairly well. I finally had to replace that old IBM CRT display that was so badly faded. That's why I waited until after the first of the year to undertake this project, so I could budget for the monitor in the new year. Basically, when I went shopping, I found a choice between a 27" Samsung LCD monitor with a built in 1080p HDTV tuner for $349 or a $349 32" Samsung 1080p LCD TV with audio/video inputs for the PC. There are a few quirks. The TV doesn't have the kind of *tilt* & swivel base computer monitors have, and I can't wall mount it here at the apartment. I'll have to live without tilt until I graduate and move back home. And I haven't yet figured out if my monitor calibration device is going to work. Haven't even tried it yet. The only actual problem I've noticed using the TV for a monitor comes when the computer is re-booted while the source is set to PC. On reboot, the "desktop" shifts 1/2 inch to the right (time display in the lower right corner gets cut off at the colon). Easily corrected - switch source to TV & back to PC and the desktop is restored. A minor annoyance I can live with. - No virus found in this message.

Re: OT: OOPS! The ongoing saga ...
Definitely power supply problems. I'm coming to the conclusion the existing power supply never had enough oomph to carry the load anyway, and it appears the years have not been kind. Got to find one that's hefty enough in the correct form factor. On 1/12/2011 9:42 AM, John Sessoms wrote: Still working on refurbishing this old computer so I can use it as a desktop and quit using my laptop all the time. I'm afraid I'm going to end up having to take it in to my local shop for a checkout. I'm still getting random shutdowns occasionally. I think the power supply is going flaky on me, but it may be it just doesn't have enough power to supply power to USB devices. I could see in the POST that it was getting to the USB devices before crashing.Once I replaced my USB mouse with a spare one, it booted with no problems. Then plugging in my new USB powered portable drive shut down the computer again. For now I've disconnected the built in USB card readers, and I'm only using my externally powered USB drives. Maybe the answer is going to be a new powered hub, but I'm thinking about a new case & power supply if I can find one that will fit the existing motherboard. The system is a bare-bones ASUS in a shoe-box style/size case, and there's only room for one hard disk, and I want more storage on board than that. Also just realized it's limited memory (maxed out at 2GB), and there's only one expansion slot - which may get filled with an ESATA controller. So this one may get relegated again soon anyway (soon == within another year). Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time. Meanwhile ... "The big OOPS!" I had Netscape 7.2 installed on this thing when I was using itpreviously. Downloaded and installed Mozilla last night, then uninstalled Netscape. Forgot that with Netscape the mail client is part of the browser, and lost about a dozen unread email messages. It's probably a better idea to install the new mail client *before* removing the old one to smooth the migration path. Mostly they were just PDML digests that I can get from the archive. The rest were advertising (B&H, REI, Time-Warner ...) and I would have deleted them unread anyway. Fortunately, I had already read the one important message in the batch. Got Thunderbird installed this morning & will eventually get it configured the way *I* want it configured. First thing I need to overcome is my mouse wheel is not scrolling in Thunderbird. Seems to be working with everything else. Have to dig into that one and see what setting I need to change. Meanwhile I do have a nice, comfortable, crisp full size keyboard to type on when I'm writing. That's what started this whole quest. The external keyboard/stand combination I was using for my laptop flaked out on me and I am not comfortable typing on that laptop's keyboard, especially with the constant static shocks whenever I wear my silk-weight winter undershirts. Couldn't find a replacement keyboard/stand. It's no longer made and I found nothing that is being made that suited me. Stay tuned. PS: I've taken a few photos recently, but can't get to them yet. I'm still uninstalling/installing software. Took PhotoShop CS & CS2 off, and should have CS5 installed by tonight. Everything around here is closed down by the weather, so I've got plenty of time here today to get it done. Got barely above freezing yesterday, causing just enough melting so that when all the ice from the freezing rain overnight on Monday refroze extra smooth for this morning. - No virus found in this message.

*If you really want one, I'll post the url of the people who'll import
them for you.

Sorry, this is 1.7meg. KX files do not seem to be openable in CS2 and
I had to use the Pentax software - this is the smallest file (and it's
cropped) it does. Why are the new pef files different?
Luckily, all that was needed was the undoing of all the baseplate
screws and repositioning/allowing the back to spring into place. And
cleaning out 3 years of fluff. It was quie horrendous in there.
First KX impressions are quite favourable. No hot pink version
available, to my undying disappointment.

Re: Oops....
- Original Message - From: "mike wilson" Subject: Re: Oops Mike, get an up-to-date copy of the standalone Adobe Raw Converter. Pentax changed an identification string in PEF back around the time of the K100D Super which broke ACR recognition of PEF. Adobe updated the ACR in CS3 and CS4 but nothing before that. Thanks. Another reason to love my favourite software company. Also, the DNG files out of the K-x should be openable in any version of Photoshop that has a raw converter attached to it. I know my K-7 DNGs will open in Photoshop 7.

Re: Oops....
Shoot DNG RAW and you can convert in PSCS2.
