Near the secondary (Combe Park) entrance. The new arrangement of broken kerbs makes this grave appear a bit Greek in character. It is entirely in keeping with the general extravagance and flamboyance of this cemetery. Nikon D40 and AF-S DX Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VRII lens. Focal length 20mm (full frame equivalent 30mm). 400 ISO; f/5; 1/40th. Whilst lacking the clarity of a prime lens, the 18-200mm Nikkor performs strongly and is a pleasure to use. Distortion can be noticeable but is easily corrected when processing. The Vibration Reduction system is spectacular - low shutter speeds hold no fear when using this lens. The Nikon D40, manufactured between 2006 and 2009 and long superseded by several new models, is a joy to use and particularly to carry. It weighs practically nothing. With fewer than 600 shutter actuations, it cost me less than £60 earlier this year. It lacks the latest bells and whistles but does the main job of making images very competently. I set it to under-expose a little; it seems to produce better results that way.
