Photography Tips

Take a tripod, I used a 16-35mm and a variable nd filter, play around with the exposure time, I tried anything from 0.45-5, it gives drastically different effects, this shot was around 1-1.5 sec. Take tons of shots, the waves are unpredictable and it’s very hard to tell if you got it on a small screen.

Travel Information

It’s an easy drive to the beach but then you need to climb onto the volcanic rock to the left. Be careful, very sharp and ridged edges, take study shoes. Also quite a few crabs, tread carefully.
