Beat the Heat! by George Petrovsky

Beat the Heat! by

Heatwave hits Sydney, NSW Australia.

Well, it is our Summer, and it does get to 40+deg C!

Iced Peach Tea is a good way to cool off.

Strawberry was a nice appetiser.

I really enjoyed it!!!

Technostuff: Nikon D80 Nikkor 18-200VR lens, hand held @ 82mm. Shutter priority, 1/250 sec @ f6.3, ISO 200, Pattern metering, Auto Exp & WB.

More Technostuff: When the ice melts, the tea level in the glass will not rise.
When icebergs melt, the sea level does not rise.
Go google “The Archimedes Principle”!

About George Petrovsky

An old photographer and his dog trying to come to grips with what turns an ordinary photograph into a worthwhile picture. (For whom?) Perhaps strive to take a worthwhile photograph in the first place? The digital darkroom is a creative, fascinating place. Now, if only I could learn to use it and the cameras I have properly……

Now, you know all my stuff is Copyright. If you try and pinch any of it, I’ll jump through your screen and rip your bloody arms off!

    Glad you could join me in a cold, refreshing drink on a hot day! I’ve been known to have one at the Eumundi Markets – though not for a few years. Your work would do well there!

    Saturday was a killer weatherwise George and I’m afraid it was useless trying to do anything. Sunday was mild so a good gardening day and soaking everything in water – today Australia Day I had a special job to do with my family history work and again the weather was mild.

  • G’day Bev!
    On day it’s 40+, next day struggling to make make 20 and pouring rain. That’s why we love the unpredictability of this country. Glad you like the shot.
