Good idea, If it works for you then why not use it?, I still remember my Glider pre-flight checks from 1974!-CB SIT CB. Controls, Ballast, Straps, Instruments, Trim, Cable and Brakes. Though i have forgotten my powered Aircraft Pre flight checks from 1975!
Trouble is all this would go out of the window when you are rushing to get a grab shot and your Camera is in its bag!

When I got there in 1975, it was CB SIFT CB (flaps added) Now it's CB SWIFT CBE.

Hi Stefan
It has the same aliasing noticeable on the yellow lights that I mentioned on Rob's aircraft pictures. Drop the width to 800 pixels.

I think I have said elsewhere that another of my hobbies is flying radio controlled model aircraft. I believe K10 does as well. If I were to say to him "SMART" I would guess he would know what I am talking about. Basically these are a series of pre take-off checks that I run through. The first letter of each is added to the mnemonic to make an aide memoir, so Switch, Meter, Aerial, Rates, Trims becomes "SMART".
It goes through my mind that some sort of aide memoir like this might work when taking a photo, or am I the only one who occasionally gets back home to find that all the pictures I have taken have a strange colour cast because I have forgotten to set the WB for example?

I did a little Stefan.
Looking at the way it appears here, I think I might have overdone it - the beak is rather uniform red. In the original, the yellow part of the bird's beak had saturated white, but the reflection was still yellow.
Have I overdone it?

I suppose the continuing recession may be a contributing factor.

Hmmm. The bulb in my "Grateful" lamp must be blown. It did not light up at all

George - that was obviously a trick question as there is no 2:15 at Chepstow, but the 2:30 was won by Dantari at 16-1. Hope this helps.The wonders of modern technology. Can it deal with important philosophical questions like the winner of the 2:15 at Chepstow tomorrow?

I find "MESS" works for me. The idea being if you don't run through this check list your photos with be a MESS.
M = Memory, check the card is in the camera, not the lap top !
E= Exposure , Av, program, what ever
S= Speed, ISO
S = Shake, on / off
Cheers,
