Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #50 – January 25, 2018, 11:41:01 am Manzanar is an interesting stop where we have heard a variety of diverse remembrances. I was a student in a classroom taught by a former Manzanar resident when I was in 6th grade. He had many negative recollections of living there as a young man. I met a woman at Manzanar who was there as a child and shared wonderful memories of dances and movies and friendships with the other children. David Suzuki's recollections of being interred as a child were very positive in his book where he recollects living at an internment camp in Canada.(Amazon.com: The David Suzuki Reader: A Lifetime of Ideas from a Leading...)War makes humans do things they would never otherwise consider, and internment of citizens was a terrible thing, but the recollections of actual former residents was interesting and showed the spectrum of ways that they dealt with the experience. 1 Likes As an Amazon Associate Lazy Daze Owners' Group earns from qualifying purchases.
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #51 – January 25, 2018, 03:26:04 pm Speaking of Manzanar, I had the pleasure of meeting Dorothy and Mikio last fall. Both of these folks were interred in different camps during the war. As I recall, Dorothy was actually born in a camp.This couple are avid Lazy Dazers and if you ever have the chance to meet and talk with them you will be amazed at the stories they can tell. They are both college educated (he a professor) and they had this old soldier sitting on the edge of his chair, hanging on every word. 3 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #52 – January 25, 2018, 09:02:48 pm While at Quartzite this month, I discovered there was an internment camp about 10 mi SW of Parker on the CRIT reservation. Apparently the memorial was built by former internees. One of my Tai-Chi instructors was interned near Cody WY.
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #53 – January 26, 2018, 03:36:09 pm I had a Japanese-American uncle (last name Kikuchi) who I, later in life, found out was interned during the war. I don't think it was Manzanar but not sure. He was probably my favorite uncle and I regret not ever talking to him about it. He has since passed at the ripe old age of 99.
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #54 – January 30, 2018, 11:01:48 pm Finally made the leap and purchased a Dell XPS 15 Ultra HD Touch Screen Lap Top. Yeah for me.🤩Now I can see what I’ve been shooting with my D800e and do sometime with them. Figuring out how to email images from my memory cards after editing pictures is a lesson I’ve been reteaching myself.Here is a shot of some sort of berry bush in Indian Cove Campground. I was able to edit it in Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and email myself the image. Does anyone here know what the plant is? I can hardly wait to find my old shots of the Yosemite Snow Flower I captured while at Serrano last year. Those will be fun to work with.Enjoy,Kent 1 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #56 – January 31, 2018, 02:19:00 pm Thanks Greg,Truly an interesting plant. After reading the details of the plant, it appears to have a lot of positive attributes and some potential dangers. Kent

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #59 – February 03, 2018, 11:28:54 am I have struggled with getting those creamy flowing water shots for a while. You know the ones. The beautiful waterfall with the cascading silky flow of effluent that beckons you to visit the Bahamas or says “Hey, the Grand Canyon is the place to be”.Here’s a shot I captured in the Merced in Yosemite Valley last year. This is along Happy Isles. Once again I wandered about endlessly shooting as my DW patiently left me behind. I hope you enjoy the pic.Kent 4 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #64 – February 04, 2018, 01:12:01 pm Bill,Thanks for your comment but that is actually a sunset. Just before the sun dropped below the west end of the lake. Your shot is very interesting. What exactly are we looking at? Kent
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #65 – February 04, 2018, 01:27:19 pm Kent-Whoa... I thought that was the moon. My shot is of a Palm leaf... I intentionally underexposed the sidelighting to accentuate the lines of the leaf.
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #66 – February 04, 2018, 02:01:00 pm Bill,Exactly what I thought it was but the lines are so parallel I was a bit bewildered. Art has a way of fooling with our brains.Here’s something a little more obvious from my trip to Watchman in Zion last March.Kent 1 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #70 – February 04, 2018, 04:56:18 pm Ahhh... nice work popping up, I love it! Yea Kent, this may be TMI, but palms are closely related to grasses, and unlike most vascular large "trees" or Dicots, they are in a group called Monocots. "Dicot veins are usually netlike, there is a single continuous vascular ring, woody secondary growth is present in trees and shrubs and flower parts occur in multiples of 4s or 5s. Palm trees are the monocots most easily confused with woody dicots." Hope this explains the parallel look in the photograph.... so much to see... too little time...glad your eye picked this up!Bill 2 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #71 – February 05, 2018, 10:49:27 am Last July my DW and I took our time and drove the LD to Yellowstone National Park. Having picked up a rental car in Jackson Hole, Wyoming I had the opportunity to shoot a boat load of photos. Geysers were everywhere. Amazingly beautiful “holes in the ground”. Here is a pic of one geyser that I called the Donut Hole, mostly because I don’t recall what the NPS named it. Playing with Photoshop Elements, I came up with this angry beast. Enjoy,Kent 2 Likes
