FEBRUARY 11, 2008 - Parking lot. Exposure details: Canon EOS 1-D Mark II, EF 70-200mm f2.8 (at 70mm), Aperture priority, 1/8000 sec at f/4, ISO 400, Daylight white balance

Another installment from the inadvertent files… this time from the parking lot of Kapiolani Community College as I made my way to shoot chef Nancy Oakes at the culinary arts school.

DECEMBER 29, 2007 - Leaves and grating on Convention Center Blvd., New Orleans. Exposure details: Canon EOS-1D Mark II, EF 70-200mm f2.8 (at 130mm), Aperture priority, 1/3200 sec at f/2.8, ISO 640, Incandescent balance

I think I was waiting to chase Colt Brennan down the street in front of the press hotel when the camera dangling from my shoulder was inadvertently fired aiming at this.

The camera was still set for incandescent light (I just came out of a presser inside), thus the nice blue hue.

DECEMBER 17, 2007 - Vineyard Blvd. sidewalk. Exposure details: Canon EOS 20D, EF-S 10-22mm f3.5-4.5mm (at 10mm), Aperture priority, 1/250 sec at f/8, ISO 100, Daylight white balance

Walking around with my cameras on and dangling is convenient, but sometimes leads to the shutter release being pressed inadvertently. I’ll get back to the office to edit, and find 30 frames of weirdness…

…or high art.
