I was thrilled to capture this moment during our trip to the Isle of Skye, Scotland. We were on our way to a viewpoint to photograph the sunset when we unexpectedly spotted a group of seals resting along the coast. I immediately stopped the car and grabbed my camera, my hands shaking with excitement. But as I approached, they suddenly dove into the water, something that, as a wildlife photographer, happens all too often and it was frustrating.
Still, patience is always the key to a good shot. I waited for nearly an hour, and slowly, one by one, they re-emerged, their shiny heads breaking the surface. Having a clean background and soft ambient light made the moment even more special.
