When the Atlantic Comes Alive — Ericeira, Portugal

A moment when everything seemed to come together: the waves crashing against the rocks, seagulls flying above the ocean, and sunlight breaking through the clouds.
I was watching the birds and waiting for the waves. Then, for a brief moment, the light, the sea and the seagulls became part of the same scene.
The Atlantic is never still, and that is part of its beauty.
Ótima captura e sincronização! Eu sei o quanto é difícil conseguir esse tipo de fotos. Você sabe, em sua mente, como deveria parecer, mas então você precisa que tudo se alinhe em sincronia: não apenas as ondas, mas a iluminação e as gaivotas, e então tirar a foto - todos precisam se alinhar corretamente. Parabéns!
Thank you, Mike! You understand exactly what I was trying to capture. I was watching the seagulls, anticipating the next wave and keeping an eye on the changing light. Everything was moving, and I knew I only had a brief moment to bring it all together. That’s one of the things I love most about photographing the Atlantic — you can prepare, observe and wait, but nature always has the final say!
