Because, Jan, we are perhaps "interested* in how the picture was created,
from a technical perspective, including your favorite minutiae. If this
*photography* group was simply an Art Appreciation group, I could
understand your lament, but actually, it is a group of *technical*
photography folks, who are indeed interested in a lot more than the
feeling and mood of a photograph. Certainly, from an art perspective,
those are very interesting, and warrant a lot of attention and discussion.
But to claim that discussions of small details are not germane to this
photography group is rather missing the entire point of this email list.

Just offhand, I would say he is equipped with a remote shutter release,
and also he’s done this more than a few times and is obviously no rank
amateur. He’s got a style, he knows his equipment, and he’s looking for
shots of a certain style.
I don’t understand why you guys fail to see the big picture and can only
complain about the itty bitty points an minutiae. Is it jealousy or what?

Haunting photos, but doesn't the flashlight beam in some of them have
to be faked? The air seems clear and how much blue will be in a
flashlight to scatter in the air unless it's an LED or Hg lamp. And he
sat perfectly still while the star trail was being exposed?
