The Trouser Leg or the Snake Dance Pose
It must be at least 140 degrees in the shade (or at least 50 c)
to achieve this Zen.

1. First find a remote Australian Outback cemetery with no living soul
for 50 kms
2. Head down and inspect reptile and animal marks around the grave of
which there are usually many.
3. Position your body directly in front of a grave.
4. Hold very hot camera trying to shade it with your sun hat in one
hand without covering the lens.
5. Lift one leg and hold this position without shaking camera.
6. Rotate eyeballs in all direction especially downward.
7. Focus one eye in the camera and one eye on your trouser leg to
ensure no snake or reptile rushes up the leg still based on the ground
8. Hold this position disregarding sunstroke and sunburn.
9. Adjust camera focus and telephoto lens on headstone, still holding
breath in, not shaking camera, keeping one eye on snake hole and trouser

leg.
10. Take photograph.
11. Run as fast as possible to nearest bush at least 100 yards away,
which affords very little shade.
12. Drink large quantities of water. Shade camera and work out the
next headstone to be photographed.
13. Repeat 1 - 12.
