This is truly an amazing shot!
It looks Photoshopped unfortunately. It’s a doable shot. You’d need a water housing kit for your camera and then some filter for the lens. And youd have to preset the exposure because you cant adjust it while in the water housing…so judging by the water around the elephant and one of the elephants feet I think it was shopped.
I’m pretty sure it is as I do a lot of photoshop work. But didn’t want to say anything. Sometimes as adults we just need to look at something with awe and wonder and just believe.
Amazing. Reblogging…

Me, too. I want to believe it’s real, so it is. What harm is done? None.
Regardless of how it was created…a memorable image indeed!
Agreed.
I’d like to have that one.
I looked at this in awe and wonder and Wow! 🙂

Love it Michelle! It’s obviously photoshopped, but who cares? Great image!
One of my favorite photographers, David Doubilet, who specializes in underwater photography, actually has a photo of an elephant swimming underwater while using her trunk for a snorkel, so even though this is photoshopped, it’s not a total fantasy.
Correction: I just checked, and photo I was thinking of is by another National Geographic photographer, Cesare Naldi.
You hit it right on the nose. Even though this may be photoshopped, it is of something real – not a complete fantasy, like giving the elephant gills, or wings.
Water, check. Elephant, check. Blue sky, check. Elephant standing in water… got it. 🙂 go on…
All ready to go?
No! It looks like a right-wing elephant. 🙂 go on…
Oh wow!!

I Made this photo last spring for a class at the University of Utah. It is photoshopped.
Thanks, Michael. This comment brought to my attention I never updated this site. Thanks. Going to now. 🙂
Okay, I have now updated the site and put in the image you sent me with your watermark. Sorry for the H..U..G..E.. delay. I have been caught up with work and just completely forgot to update this post.
Hi Michael,
We would like to publish this image. I am a photo editor working in London/UK. Can you please let me know how I can contact you.
Thank you!
Elena
Hi, Elena. I don’t have any contact information. I only have what you see – the photographer’s logo in the bottom right corner. You can search that name and also use Google’s image search to hopefully locate the owner/photographer.
