The first time I was in this area (quite a few years ago), I setup my camera and shot this exact same spot. The problem was I couldn't capture it the way I wanted and I was so nervous because the lava rocks were so slippery and the swells were so big. I though my odds of falling in were pretty good. (Usually I don't try to photograph anywhere were my odds of coming back are not below 35%).
That last photo shoot many years ago didn't produce the results I wanted so I went back a few weeks ago. The water was still raging pretty good, but I was able to get a much nicer sunset and water motion this time around. Probably won't be heading out this way again, as it is still pretty dangerous when the swells are up!
