Zero Gravity in Alcantarilla: The Forbidden Moment

 Get ready, Greenland. Here we come.

Many see a parachute; I see the triumph of will over the void. In this shot of the PAPEA (Air Force Parachute Demonstration Team, in Spanish) at Alcantarilla Air Base, the red and yellow of the Spanish flag not only decorate the gray sky, but also break the monotony of the horizon with absolute military precision.

Photographing this moment is not just a matter of shutter speed; it's understanding the rhythm of the air. One second they are there, suspended like giants; the next, the earth claims them.
