New rule #1 for location Photography

Look down!

On our last day of shooting in New Mexico, I had some clouds
to shoot for backgrounds. With assistants in tow we headed out
of town to an open space, really nice area, no wires, great vantage point,
360º view and RATTLE SNAKES!
So, yes I was walking with the ‘ol head up looking for the best area to set
up, looking at the clouds that were before me, not the RATTLE SNAKE
that I almost stepped on.
No one got hurt, just a boost of adrenaline to help finish the assignment.
Yikes!
