The shot appeals. That's all. It has the theme of a Luminous Landscape so I put it on the masthead.
What makes you think ( or presume to know) that it was done with a "machine gun" approach? In fact I did exactly 6 exposures at that location in a 1 hour period. Machine gun?
If you're talking about the fact that I did 2000 exposures in a 10 day period, keep in mind that we were primerily shooting wildlife. I'd say that this was modest under the circumstances, and comparable quantities were done by the other trip members.
All I can say is that it's too bad you can't see a large print. It's absolutely stunning, and nothing like the compressed JPG found on the site.
