Have you ever been too hot to take pictures?

I am currently working in Singapore and decided to go up to Malaysia for the day. It was so ridiculously hot that I could not even muster up enough energy to get out my camera.

I know what you mean... it has been 100-106 degrees here at home and the last thing I feel like doing is lugging around my camera equipment.


Life is hard...but I just take it one photograph at a time.

I'm always too hot to take photos *cough*, but I still get the camera out now and then :)

Seriously though, I can understand what you mean. Not a problem this time of the year over here though, thankfully.

I have the same problem. Guess I need to get a home studio going to keep me busy during the summer months. :D

    This heat is oppressive. Can't do anything but stay inside where it is cool.

    It's supposed to be 94 degrees here for the second day in a row. Yesterday I shot a wedding and reception from 2:30 until 10:00 (for a family member), and today I'm venturing out to the Exotic Feline Rescue Center to photograph the big cats. I guess I don't have enough sense to come in out of the heat. :)

    It was 112 degrees here yesterday. No, I didn't shoot anything. I did set a white lens and black lens in the sun for a few minutes to see the temperature difference. It's huge. That's why they're white.

    Its hot in the UK at the moment (hot for the UK is mid 80's to mid 90's and lasts for about 3 days a year). I went up the lakes this morning, and it was so hazey, that not one of my shots was woth keeping, so heat can cause more problems than just boiling us humans.

    the heat is a little too much right now.. when it's a hundred degrees it's easy to get dehydrated and sunburned...

    I have been going out at dawn to take pics, because as Maureen said, it's been well over 100 during the day here in the Sacramento Valley for a week or more now. When the days are that hot, the evenings are not conducive to outdoor activity either, but first thing in the morning is pretty nice.
