AMERICAN CEMETERY, CAMBRIDGE UK
Another one from my collection of Cambridge images. The American Cemetery in Cambridge, with it’s memorial pillar stating ‘Erected By The United States Of America 1954′, is on 30 acres of land donated by the University of Cambridge, situated three miles outside the city. A high proportion of these 3,812 American servicemen & women were crew members of British-based American aircraft employed in WWII. This is an image of The Great Mall with, on the right-hand side, The Wall of the Missing.
Although the RAW file conversion was made in SilkyPix, that doesn’t mean there wasn’t still some lens distortion showing, and if you want to see the ‘uncorrected’ version, it’s on the zenfolio site at http://nickbland.zenfolio.com (along with literally hundreds of my other LX3 images, grouped for ease of use).
With some Photoshop transform/distort, the image was almost there, and a touch of lens correction in Capture NX gave me the final result I was after.
