Inside the Gothic Cathedral

Inside the Gothic Cathedral

This is a 4x5 film pinhole photo of part of the National Cathedral’s interior. The view is super-wide, and I took it while standing against a pillar (visible in the upper left). The main nave of the cathedral “begins” in the left center region, and one of the side passages (that runs parallel to the nave) begins a little down and to the right.

You can purchase a print of this (including framing, if you wish) at ImageKind.com.

Note, due to the pinhole’s perspective, that those passages don’t appear to run parallel to each other. One of the transept rose windows is visible just to the right of center. The wrought iron ornamentation leading toward the main altar, at the front of this, the world’s 6th largest cathedral, is visible in the upper right, near my right shoulder (I stood “flattened” against the pillar for the entire 35 minutes). Thirty five minute exposure at f/136 using a Zero Image 4x5 pinhole camera.

Beautiful. Every time I decide “Right, I’m getting the Zero 69” along comes a picture like this to make me rethink and want the 45.
