Orion (right) and Sirius (upper right) setting into the west over Loch Ard Gorge on the Great Ocean Road, Victoria, Australia, with illumination from the rising Moon a day past full behind the camera to the east. This is the location of the wreck of the Loch Ard immigrant ship, where only two survived by swimming ashore at this gorge and climbing the cliffs to find a ranch house nearby. This is a stack of 100 exposures for the sky and water, each 15 seconds, with the ground coming from one frame in the sequence to prevent the moving shadows from the rising Moon from blurring detail. All with the 14mm Rokinon lens at and Canon 6D at ISO 800. Stacked with Advanced Stacker Action Elastic Stars effect.
