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.

Incredibly beautiful!! I love the gorgeous colors!! May I share this to the +Landscape Photography page?
Stunning capture. Going to have to put Mono Lake on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing.
I've done that before... on one occasion I nudged the tripod head and knocked it off level slightly... had to batch rotate the group to make a short segment.
Great photo! Like it :)
