Subject: The Elements
Some background:
Post the picture showing the Beauty of Elements as well as the Power of Elements! Combined Elemental powers very much welcome!
Elements: Earth, Fire, Water and Air rule our world
Since the beginning of humanity, power of elements was believed to be the Gods tools to control the Earth. Elemental powers, creatures, magic of the elements...
Try to be creative, try to surprise me! I am a fan of all the elemental concepts, in books, in games, in real live, so I want to see Your ideas of the subject. Have fun and Good Luck!
King tides are the highest tides and they happen twice per year. Once in the winter and once in the summer. During the king tides the water level in the San Francisco bay will be high enough that waves will crash over the seawalls and up onto roads and sidewalks. I took this photo during last winters king tide at Marine Drive in San Francisco.
Water fueled by global forces, brutal power of waves. Great catch! Good timing ! Thanks for photo! Do You know why the King Tide appear only two times a year? Is it connected to seasons or moon activity?
Its connected to the moon and the sun. Higher tides during new moon and full moon, and it gets amplified when the moon orbit is closest to the planet and even more amplified during king tides which is when it all lines up, the earth in the closest part of its orbit to the sun, the moon being closest part of its orbit to earth and then a full or new moon.
Thanks for explanation, I was thinking about some cumulation of sun and moon gravitation. Amazing stuff!
Motion in Blue
I found this interesting rock formation on the Cordoama beach and had struggled to find the right position on the wet stones, wiping the lens, covering my camera from splashes and trying to capture the contrast between the motion of water and stillness of rock.

Hi Photovision, this is a picture taken in Melbourne just a few minutes before a storm.
Looks great! The dark side of air elemental... Thank You for sharing!
Thank you for organising the competition :-)
Thank You for taking part of it! It is just a beginning, i hope for more contests in future and bigger prizes for all! By the way, great gallery You have! Following for sure!
I first tried to shoot waves on Sri Lanka. Every day I spent several hours in the water. Usually it was a dawn or a sunset. Most often I managed to make a photo and dive under the wave. But sometimes the wave seized me. To get out of it is not so easy. But the process of filming is very exciting.
Hi there! Thanks for Your entry!
Amazing capture of this big wave, I love the reflections of light on a water surface and the overall composition. Pure water energy.
Very cool shot!
I have always wanted to a shoot in the snow and we got lucky this day as the couple were up for it too! We said to each other that we would just go until our cameras stopped working (which they did for a little while!) but it was worth it to get this shot of the blizzard!
Niice, never seen something like this! Combined force of water and air. Very original shot! Thanks for participate!
Thank you! I wanted to try and find a photo that combined a few elements haha! Thank you for hosting the contest :)
This is my first one so I am trying to put in live the idea of prize funds generated from upvoting the post, which can be in future very attractive for all the winners. Hope You all liked the idea and I can organize more of this in future! I think it is great fun for all of us who love photography!
Well I hope it does really well for you, it's a great idea! it's definitely a good idea to build the photography community up!
Hi! Here is my entry.
One day I was faced with the task of photographing water. In any form. And then I went to the river with my son. He threw stones into the water and I photographed the spray. In one of the pictures, a water creature turned out. I called it the "Water Golem." You can imagine that this creature with long arms, to the waist left the water.
Hi there! Just found Your shot, great thanks fro entry. Water elemental in beautiful, natural surrounding. Nice one!
Sunset captions
We've walked a total of 724 stairs in Mt. Tapyas View Deck in Coron Palawan, Philippines just to see this beautiful scene.. at last I've got one.
I love this photo so much😍😍
A remembrance of a one beautiful capture with my hubby..
Indeed amazing view! Worth every step. Thank You for Your entry! Have a good day!
You're welcome😀😁
The power of this lightning storm in Missouri was incredible. The lightning was so high in the sky and yet the storm was so far away that I could barely hear the thunder! A gigantic storm system, with lightning flashing as fast as any strobe light, and just as bright! I've never witnessed anything like it - not even close!
Electricity, force combined from air and water, incredible shot, pure power! I miss thunder storms here in Norway, but we cannot have everything ;). Thanks for photo!
We don't have them where I live either - this was truly special to me - in fact I was slightly worried that the world was ending, but I suppose it was just another day in the midwest.
You know, this is not what I´m best at... but for you I´ve got some water, air and earth :) Picture taken on an evening boat trip on Loch Ness.
Loch Ness, beautiful place, long as a sea... with his own monster below... Great beauty of elements! Thank You!
Rain, Earth and Oxygen, Air from the canary island date palm.
I was inspired to take this photo, while i was seeking shelter from the rain i couldn't but help notice how the shadow from the canopy was saturated but some how was dancing between the drops of rain.
(Dancing in the rain)
Interesting perspective and well done concept. Thank You for entry! Water is life but can also kills... Duality of elements...
yes i know i just submitted article on a young man tha drowned
I present to you @photovisions my photo captured by my smartphone, natural river flows at Daranak Falls, Philippines, simplicity is beautiful.
Water against the earth...its a matter of time when water wins. Thanks for Your entry!
Here is my entry. Great contest idea, thank you for hosting it!

Hi, Thanks for entry! Great photo! Still image but I can see the force of incoming waves, almost hear the sound of crushing water. Good idea and well done shot!

Still blue waters- definitely a beauty of this element. Thank You for participating!
Hello Steemian friends, My name is Mustafa but you can call me Musti and Here is my picture for the contest , the element more important for me and the reason :
Yes i hear what you are saying...it is a simple picture of backlight of a shore and clouds...and i say no...
If you look carefully you can see it is raining far away in this picture (yes over the hill) For that reason i like this picture and i want to share it with you...In this picture you can also see the air which is the most important element in my opinion...But why ?
Because ,
t is from the atmosphere we get the air we breath and which is used by many other organisms across the vast earth.Also certain occurences in the atmosphere such as the forming of clouds ensures that the hydrological cycle is ongoing and that life on earth has water to use for its biological functions or even as a habitat for some organisms.Thirdly, the atmosphere contains the ozone layer that protects the earth from harmful ultra-violet rays of the sun, that would destroy life on earth.
Have a nice day all of you...:)
Amazing talent... thanks to everyone for sharing :)
Awesome, thanks for hosting this contest! :D
P.S. is that a rainbow-lapse?
Nope, the rainbow is single shot...it was just... Triple :). Have seen it like this first time.
I didn't think that was physically possible! Usually doubles and triples are exactly parallel. Weird!
This is The Magical Power of Elements 😄
I know... I have more shots of this one! Can post tomorrow :).
