The sea fills the frame from almost at water level, a blaze of orange on the horizon illuminating each passing wave crest, storm clouds gathering in the upper sky.
Wave Fire
Shot from just above the surface, the ocean races toward the lens at sunset, every ripple catching the gold and orange light, a line of distant waves breaking on the horizon.
Water Level
Shot from near sea level, waves roll past the camera toward the silhouetted Berlengas Islands as the sun breaks through thick cloud in a last burst of gold and orange.
Berlengas from the Water
The sun sets directly behind the Berlengas Islands, its enormous white disc hovering above the island silhouette, the sky and sea turned to deep burnt orange and the horizon on fire.
Berlengas at Sunset
Two paragliders soar low over the beach, the red sandstone cliffs of the Portuguese coast stretching behind them, wind turbines on the distant hills, the Atlantic grey and rough below.
Cliff Riders
Turquoise waves detonate over a ledge of dark rocks, sending spray flying, while a long dramatic cliff headland stretches into the distance under a hazy sky.
Green Surge
Vivid turquoise waves break over a rugged rocky foreground, the dramatic cliff line of the Sintra coast stretching far into the distance under a layer of low cloud.
Atlantic Edge
The sun hangs just above the horizon, flooding the calm Atlantic with copper light, the outline of an island faintly silhouetted against the glowing western sky.
Amber Horizon
The setting sun casts a long path of gold across the flat ocean, a dark headland silhouetting on the left while the wet sand mirrors the light in warm amber pools.
Last Gold
A surfer on a yellow board launches off the lip of a wave, spray bursting as another swimmer watches from the water below, coastal hills dissolving in haze behind.
Yellow Streak
A surfer stands upright on a powerful churning wave, arms spread for balance, riding the face as it breaks into rolling white water.
Riding the Wall
A surfer locks into position at the top of a thick, pitching wall of blue-green water, leaning into the drop as white spray explodes behind.
Drop In
A surfer trims across a clean blue-green face while another paddles beneath in the foreground, a misty coastal town barely visible on the horizon.
Clean Lines
A lone surfer paddles hard to meet a breaking wave, the red sandstone cliffs of the Portuguese coast rising behind a wide arc of white water.
