Never put your camera away until you return home from a shoot. Don't shut it off when you're carrying it back to the car. Don't even think about it!
I was on my way back to the car as the light faded. My camera was hooked to my R-Strap, hanging by my side when I startled this Great Blue and he took off. Got two nice shots off in a short burst before the light and the bird were gone.
