I set out to shoot sunset on a short trip to Maui. A good friend of mine knew of this special place where the turtle come up into a cave to rest. It was quite difficult to get to, we had to walk through the water along a cliff side, the tide was rising so it wasn't very easy. We walked for about 45 minutes along the slippery coast line until we spots a few turtles. We followed them and they led us to this cave where we thought it was a bunch of rocks at first only to realize it was a ton of turtles! We quickly found a spot that was un occupied and set up for sunset. We sat in the cave for about 3 hours! The tide was rising which was a little alarming and scary for our camera gear at times. We stayed all the way until the sun went down, in that 3 hours of waiting we were almost completely blocked in by turtles as more and more started to show up! It was a great shooting day, but the walk back to the car in the dark was quite the adventure.
