Earth
This fact you mention
The Earth revolves 'round the sun
Is useless to me

A drop of water
Tells us it is possible
An ocean exists
(Reference–Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, "A Study in Scarlet")
Air
The sweet morning air
Floating like a pink feather
Shames our petty cares
(Reference–Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, "The Sign of the Four")
Fire
A house fire ignites
Instinct directs a woman
Straight to her treasure

Capturing Magic
In the world of photography, timing is the key to everything. While skilled compositions and technical proficiency are undoubtedly crucial, the perfect lighting can create the perfect photo. Nowadays, we can determine any light ourselves and are no longer dependent on any natural light source, thanks to the developed technology. We can turn every day into a night by using the right filters. And we can illuminate every night to be seen as a day. A typical process, especially in the film industry.
