Our Daily Challenge: FLAG(S)
Soldiers from the 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) place U.S. flags at headstones as part of Flags-In at Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Virginia, May 21, 2020. For more than 50 years, soldiers from The Old Guard have honored our nation’s fallen military heroes by placing U.S. flags at gravesites of service members buried at both Arlington National Cemetery and the U.S. Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Home National Cemetery just prior to the Memorial Day weekend. Over 1,000 soldiers place over 250,000 flags in front of every headstone, and columbarium and niche wall column. (U.S. Army photo by Elizabeth Fraser / Arlington National Cemetery)

I was asked to take a photo of the Oregon flag for the upcoming release of a US stamp celebrating Oregon.
I thought it was be a simple task. No. Our flag has different designs of either side. When the light strikes one side the design shows through the other side, which makes getting a clear shot almost impossible unless both the sunlight and the wind are cooperating. Finally I asked the kind people at the information desk where I might find a flag hung on a wall. I'd been in the Capitol many times and couldn't recall seeing one. That's because there isn't one. One of the ladies, however, was kind enough to hold out the flag in the Governor's office so that I could take five exposures. I used these exposures using a technique new to me (super-resolution) in PhotoAcute. This is similar to HDR except that the local contrast isn't so exaggerated. The five exposures were half steps apart.
The results after other post-processing look pretty nice compared to my earlier shots.
Sculpture designed by Horace W. Peaslee, sculpted by Felix de Weldon, from the Pulitzer-Prize winning photo by Joseph Rosenthal. I loved the movie about the planting of the flag: (http://www.flagsofourfathers.com/) and so was keen to visit the Iwo Jima Marine Memorial in Arlington. The sun was against us, but I loved the movement of the flag, so took rather a lot of pictures.

Taken with the Trilogy 3D1000 camera which I previously used in week 34 of my 52 film cameras in 52 weeks project:
Trichrome photography involves taking three exposures of the same subject on black and white film. Each exposure is taken through a red, green or blue filter. These photos are then combined to produce a colour image. Three separate exposures could be taken with the same camera mounted on a tripod, though this would only be possible for static subjects, a purpose made camera with three lenses allows the 3 exposures to be made simultaneously.
One of the early users of the process, over a hundred years ago, was Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky , he used projectors with coloured filters to make a combined image, nowadays it can be done with photo editing software such as Photoshop.
For these trichromes, I used a three lens “Trilogy” camera, originally marketed for making lenticular stereo prints. I taped red, green and blue filters in front of the lens, and shot on Ilford HP5+ black and white negative film. The Trilogy camera is very simple, with fixed focus, aperture and shutter speed, it is only suitable for use in bright daylight, particularly as the filters reduce the effective aperture by at least 2 stops.
A colored flag flying atop a bamboo pole generally means that an East Indian who is a Hindu lives in the house nearby and that the household held a jhandi, which is a ceremony of thanksgiving. Such ceremonies are held following some favorable development affecting a member of the family. Lord Rama is worshipped and Hanuman, who rescued Rama's wife, Sita, from captivity by Rawan is honored by the flag.

The Eimskip house flag with the blue swastika. Their logo since the start in 1914 - before the mad corporal took up a symbol with a similar black cross in a white circle on a red flag.
Shot in 2002 - the logo was changed before it got much older.

ARRC salutes flags of joining Estonia, Sweden, and Poland
A national flag raising ceremony at Imjin Barracks on Wednesday honoured the arrival of three new participating member nations. This October, Estonia, Poland, and Sweden has sent officers to join the permanent staff of Headquarters Allied Rapid Reaction Corps.
“Today marks a very special day in the history of the ARRC with the addition of these three nations. Their commitment is very welcome and a testament to the solidarity and success of a multinational approach to collective defence,” said Lt. Gen. Tim Evans, CBE DSO, commander of the ARRC.
“I enjoy the working culture the different nationalities. And every nation has something to offer that helps in understanding the HQ,” said Lt. Col. Pukk, a new plans officer from Tallinn.
Referring to Exercise ARRCADE FUSION 2015, Pukk said “This is important to Estonia because we are united with NATO and happy the HQ ARRC will be in the Baltic States.”
“In my short time here I have seen how all the nations work. Everyone works toward the same effort to develop a good plan that will work in everyone’s interest,” said Maj. Larbol, from Stockholm, Sweden
“Poland and the UK have a strong history. We are following similar priorities and values which are to ensure peace and stability,” said the Polish Army officer.
The additions mark a significant step in one of the most diverse, multi-national headquarters of the 9 NATO Rapid Deployable Corps HQs, all of which are capable to command up to 60,000 troops. This year the ARRC remains on standby as a Joint Task Force HQ for Small Land Operations, ready if called upon by the North Atlantic Council (NAC) and SACEUR. Currently, the ARRC is preparing for their annual training Exercise ARRCADE FUSION 2015 in the Baltics. Two more nations are scheduled to become permanent members of ARRC before the end of the year.

On glorious days like this, one flag isn't really enough!
Anyway, it's free-of-charge, given by the soldiers and policemen around!

Reykjavik, Iceland. 28.06.2011.
About the flag:
Iceland's first national flag was a white cross on a deep blue background. It was first shown in parade in 1897. The modern flag dates from 1915, when a red cross was inserted into the white cross of the original flag. This cross represents Christianity.[2][3] It was adopted and became the national flag when Iceland gained independence from Denmark in 1918. For the Icelandic people the flag's colouring represents a vision of their country's landscape. The colours stand for 3 of the elements that make up the island. Red is the fire produced by the island's volcanoes, white recalls the ice and snow that covers Iceland, and blue for the Atlantic Ocean.
