Makes plenty of sense to me. When you can push camera sensitivity to
ISO 4K, miracles can happen.

Robert,
It's a real photograph using a modern digital camera 20d, 5A, new
rebel all work, iso 1600 cranked to 4000 or so, less than 30 sec
exposure to freeze the stars as points, f/1.6 with 30mm lens or so,
cresent moon setting to light the landscape, flashlights.strope to
light the inside of the cave, 5 trips there at 1200 miles round trip
each - no kidding, 2 mile hike with last park being down a very steep
canyon wall, getting lost each time coming out each of the 5 times and
hard skin to fend off the you faked it in photoshop do nothing
armchair folk, plus 40 years experience and a high degree of crazyness
to get the perfect shot that few people will believe anyway.
My reward - knowing I got the shot of a lifetime - APOD 29th times,
TIME-LIFE Pic of year 3x, etc...
