Bristol cathedral, photographed in my lunch break this week. This is the first time Ive attempted to use my large format camera indoors. I usually photograph cathedrals with a 35mm SLR and 17mm lens but on this occasion I wanted to avoid convergence of vertical pillars. The symmetrical photo of the nave was made with the camera back vertical, and the front standard at full rise. The asymmetrical photo was made with the lens at front rise and the camera pointed upwards slightly, so there is mild convergence. Both of these exposures were made with a Horseman 45HD and Schneider-Kreuznach Super-Angulon 65mm f/8 lens on Ilford FP4+, rated at box speed and developed in Ilford ID-11. Exposure was 16 seconds at f/22. Scan directly from negative, cool blue tint added digitally. There will be silver-gelatin prints coming during my next darkroom session :) Feedback welcome on these pictures as this is my first attempt at indoor LF photography. There is an brief write-up on my blog, too: jonathangazeley/2014/11/bristol-cathedral-2/
