Have a camera!
I regularly ride my bicycle in an area between the Columbia River and Vancouver Lake. (Near Portland Oregon USA) It is a great area for bird watching. Today a Bald Eagle carrying a fish flew right over me.
It would be great to carry my 5D3 with me, but it's a lot more practical to have my S100 along. I rarely get any good pix, but I carry it on general principle.
Today there just happened to be a search and rescue helicopter from the local Air Force Reserve unit doing training in one of the fields next to the road where I ride my bike. I know the area well and figured that I could get to a spot where the helicopter would be right in front of Mt. St. Helens.
The Air Force guys were very cooperative subjects.
It was great fun for me and reinforced my belief that I should always have a camera.
