National Cathedral Nave - a 4x5 Pinhole Photograph

    This is a view down the nave of National Cathedral in Washington, DC. Forty minutes on Fuji Acros-100 4x5 b/w film using a Zero Image 4x5 pinhole camera at f/138. This picture is similar to another photograph ("Inside the Gothic Cathedral"). This photo shows a clear view down the nave, whereas the other photo revealed more of the cathedral's trancept.
