If He Thinks It's Hot...

It was a pretty busy Summer here at The Old Blog.  You saw many of the concerts that I managed to shoot, but there were lots of other sporting events, personal shootings and even a couple of weddings thrown in there.  So, we took a little break from things over the last few days.  However, Mother Nature wasn't always that friendly.  While things have cooled down a bit, back at the beginning of the week the temperature once again went past the 40C mark when the humidity was factored in.  On that day, we were at the Granby Zoo, where I found a kindred spirit.  This elephant was obviously looking for a way to cool down.  He comes from Africa, so if he finds that it was hot outside, imagine what this simple North American thought.  I caught him spraying himself the first time and tried to time my shot for when the water hit his head the second time.  The photograph was taken at f/2.8, 1/1600sec, ISO 100 at 70mm.  Don't worry big guy, the worst of the heat is behind us and more comfortable temperatures are ahead.
