March project...the four elements

[DennisT]

No Tarot flavour here - but I think we have all four including the "air that I breathe" - as well as the anticipation of a good lunch from the "potjie" (3 legged pot)

[Liz]

Hope this fits......

Loving these great project ideas.

I'm going to give this a go one element at a time I think, starting with Earth.









All my Earth images are from Anza-Borrego Desert State Park area here in So-Cal.

Great topic. I wasn't sure what to do with this one...I'm still not. I have been on a lightbox kick lately so I thought I would try and add the 4 elements to it. I wasn't happy with the original so I mirrored it in PS. It's a little more dark than I had planned...
I Only burned one of my lightboxes (Corona Box) to the ground in the process, Good thing I had a couple more to spare.

yeah, not having much luck with this one. Unless Earth, Wind and Fire come rolling through town on tour, I doubt if I will get a shot in here ;)

The volunteers were out clearing invasive buckthorn on Sunday at the nature center.

Not a fire? What do you call it?

Cannuk, I think you got wind and earth with those dunes. Maybe water and earth with the snow one.

I realize this one is a real challenge, especially getting all four in one shot. I keep trying to come up with something and have failed.

[CaraRose]

Not a fire? What do you call it?

Hrmmm... a helium generator? A hydrogen fuser? A large nuclear fusion engine? One big hot blazing ball of plasma?

I think the sun is a traditional representation of fire. Even if its not a literal one.

[Alison]

How about some water and some air

[mwfanelli2]

Not a fire? What do you call it?

The sun is a nuclear reaction. It gets it's energy from the fusion (squeezing together) of hydrogen atoms. The energy comes from the conversion of mass into energy via Einstein's famous E= mc^2 . Fire is a chemical process that uses oxygen. The sun has no flames, no oxygen. No comparison in the amount of energy released.

But don't worry. most of my students come in thinking the sun is a big fire as well. This was the widely held belief into the 20th century until the process of fusion was uncovered. Previous to that, there were arguments as to what it was: a bunch of wood, coal, hydrocarbons, etc. None of these explanations, however, could come even close to explaining the intense energy output and longevity (about 4.5 billion years) of the sun.

Doesn't change the wonderful photos here!

Some good stuff everyone.

Alison, you've done it again with your (h)air shot

[Alison]

Thank you Frog

I took some maternity pictures yesterday ...
A lovely lady with a beautiful baby belly standing on the "EARTH" outside, in the fresh "AIR", with "FIRE" in the sky and "WATER" in the background. :thumbsup:

Let's see what I can dig up for wind....


Here's the smoke plume from the Angeles fire from last fall.. Blown East over the desert by the wind.


Regular wind-blown clouds.


A windy peak.

Every one is doing great so thank you all for keeping the projects alive displaying all the unique styles and ideas.

Canuk, that first one looks like water AND earth to me....
