Learning from mistakes

This morning I went out to get a nice sunrise timelapse at the beautiful Petone Beach. I was not intending for this to be anything final, just testing to get some exposure setting right for the proper shoot. So I'm out here at 6 am which is a bit late, by the time I started there was already a bit of light so I had to start as soon as possible. Part way through I decide that I want to actually turn the camera around the other way towards the sun only to find out the view towards Wellington City was much better. So I'm sitting in my warm car for a long time. I come out later to find that the camera was on low battery and was not taking any more photos. The results were a not that great. But I found adding a track in the background helps out a lot.
