long gone are these days but not forgotten
when holiday wishes turned a little rotten
long nights of wishes and short days when naps were missed
mean another day gone forever so eat up all those dishes
of tasty treats and holiday delights
because tomorrow when i look in the mirror oh what a fright.

Earth element was just a random leaf from the garden. Water was created using the SplashArt II kit. Wind which is a difficult one to interpret was one of those pyramid incense cones. Fire which was the most fun was lighter fuel!
Obviously not taken in one shot! Each scene was lit with a single YN560IV 24mm @ 1/32. 24" softbox behind subjects with a piece of black foamboard between the two. Foambord was also used at the sides to reflect some light back into the scene.
Had a very summery sunrise at Bawdsey this morning, but as I was heading home a storm started coming in, so took a detour to Shingle Street. Shortly after this amazing cloud appeared, I was caught in the most almighty thunderstorm with driving pea-sized hail and visibility went down to about 10ft. Safe to say I got more than a little wet...
Most birds have long arm bones and short finger bones, but our hummers are the opposite, allowing them to only flex at the shoulder. And that ball and joint at the shoulder allow the 50 to 200 wingbeats per SECOND in a fast figure eight motion with nearly 180-degree rotation, which gives them their helicopter hovering and flying ability.
