Mono Lake Sunrise

I was shooting a time-lapse video on this morning when the card filled (I had forgotten to format it).  I changed the card  but that created a small glitch in the timelapse.

Then the battery died!  I changed that. To get the battery out I also had to take my Canon off of the tripod head using a Manfrotto quick release plate. It doesn't necessarily snap exactly back into place, so you also typically get a sudden jump in some direction of a few pixels.

Both happened during the peak sunrise color, so I couldn't simply make a video from before or after the glitch, I had the best light interrupted twice!

I did keep shooting though, so I have lots of still pictures from the morning, and this is how we learn.  I'm a lot less likely to make those same mistakes now when I shoot.
