It's in Bowmanville Ontario... It was a boys school and then in 1941 it was converted into a German POW camp. A few top German u-boat commanders were held there. There were ~880 pow's held there throughout the war. There was a few escape attempts and a 3-day battle with the guards. After the war it was used for a school again until 2008... A developer owns it now and they offered it back to the town as a historic site but I don't think the town has the funds. It's in tough shape now, theres 15ish buildings left. I believe it's the last nazi pow camp left in the world. phrenzee  Location: Canada Gender: Male  |  Re: Camp thirty! <Reply # 3 on 5/31/2013 1:56 PM >   I like #7. jerm IX  Location: Somewhere, Ontario, Canada Gender: Male If you can't find something nice to say...say it on UER.  |  |  Re: Camp thirty! <Reply # 4 on 5/31/2013 2:32 PM >   Posted by phrenzee I like #7.

This was actually my first shoot with an SLR. These were all taken with a Nikon D5100 with just the kit 18-55mm lens. These were taken in april, since then I've picked up a 55-300, 35mm f/1.8 and a 50mm f/1.8. These were all NEF RAW's that i played with in photoshop. I know very little in photoshop so i'm still learning lots. Most of these I slightly upped the contrast and played around with the highlights/shadows. For #1 I just turned the cyan and blues down to make the clouds stand out more. The framing in 6 bugs me, there was 4 people just hanging around to the right of the mess hall so I tried to block them out.

Yeah I know, but I've noticed higher cop presence at the place since it got the designation. Either way Kaitlyn Homes has offered it to the town.

I'll have to keep my eye out. The place is beyond saving, I wonder what they'll do with it as a historic place. UER Forum > Archived Canada: Ontario > Camp thirty!
