Infrared # 6

Nidarosdomen in her infrared glory! When I bought my first medium format camera, this was the first shoot I had in mind.

 

Here is a couple of funfacts about the Nidaros Cathedral.

 

1. The cathedral is built over the tomb of St. Olav, the Viking king who converted Norway to Christianity and became “Norway's Eternal King”.

 

2. No one has claimed ownership to the cathedral. The state pays for restoration work, but its still unclair who owns it.

 

3. Norwegian black metal band Mayhem used the cathedral as album cover on their seconds LP, «De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas». And it was rumored that they planned to blow up (with dynamite) the cathedral the same year as they released the album.

 

I took this photo with my Bronica SQ 6x6 camera and Ilford SFX 200.

 

For "ages" I have tough about shooting this frame with my Mamiya 7ii. Think this frame is a bit tight. But, it will do for now.
