About this image

Found a photo I took about 12 years ag on Lanzarote. I went to watch the waves one evening and spotted Sirius just rising, so I went back the next night a little earlier and took a bunch of exposures. Later I just coadded them.

It was nice to see Sirius rising out the sea.

The Lumix was noisy as hell in those days and the 400ISO was its highest value but I got a half decent picture.
