My MonoMad Post

This abstract monochrome image of some lamps at the Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood is courtesy of a fat finger. I was shooting in Av mode at f/5.0 and somehow also selected ISO 100 rather than ISO Auto...hence the shaky 4 second exposure. It took a while and several ruined opportunities and dark, blurred shots before I realized what I'd done. But hey, now it's art.
