I mainly shoot aviation so my camera remains setup more or less for that where little deviation is required. I normally clean lenses and pack a camera bag to evening before its needed and I set the camera to what I believe will be close to whats needed, shutter and aperture along with ISO.
Past mistakes:-
Going out forgetting a spare battery with only 10% remaining on the fitted battery - DOH!
Going out forgetting a CF card case leaving only CF card in camera - DOH!
At Southend openday, first real outing of this year and being used to shooting portraits and still life using flash I figured 1/60th was fast to I would be able to shoot moving objects 100m away at 1/60 - 1/125 using a focal length of upto 340mm - Nah!!
