People who know me, do know of my long and deep passion for water in all forms. Have been able to swim since the age of 4, have been an amateur athlete in canoeing in my teens, am still swimming when I have time and try to spend all my holidays along lakes, rivers and the sea, I wouldn´t deny being somehow crazy for the element of water.
Connecting the passion with photography thus comes quite naturally. In fact - starting with long time exposures of lakes and seas, I now somehow got hooked on panning waves. And Portugal - well the Atlantic ocean - is an interesting subjects - with huge waves illuminated by sun and great colours.
By the way: Panning in photography does have a long tradition to capture artistic impressions. As for panning water/waves it is the same. The most interesting about the results is: results are not controllable and you can get easily surprised by the outcome - negatively and positivily. There has been time you take about 200 picture and the outcome is "crap" and fill the Recycle Bin. But sometimes results can be great.
Here is a collectionof photos picturising the Atlantic Ocean.
