Sorry, but none of this makes any sense to me. First rare wildlife, now lost colleagues? Tenerife has a mountain rescue service with helicopters and off-roaders

Having empathy is great, but it still most likely that the availability of ultra-bright lamps is causing people to use them unnecessarily. There is an abundance of evidence that artificial light hurts natural ecosystems, not to mention inconveniencing astrophotographers, and I don't think it's unreasonable to take a dim view of those who use bright lights in uninhabited environments like this.
- aa-jv 2y agoWhat does the word "perhaps" mean to you? The example given was just an example - and in fact, an assumption cannot be made that the light-bearers were intentionally trying to interfere in a photo session. It is entirely unreasonable to think that strangers on a mountain will account for a random photography project in their thinking. So the blame game doesn't make any sense whatsoever. The onus of responsibility for having a clear shot, obviously lays with the photographer. Just because a photo is being taken, doesn't mean that others can't access the public space, too ..
- wat10000 2y agoThey're probably one of those people who tries to take a photo across a busy sidewalk and gets annoyed when people keep walking through the shot.
- gambiting 2y agoOk how about a simple reason like this - they just went for a night walk in the wilderness and are using lamps to see where they are going. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. >> I don't think it's unreasonable to take a dim view of those who use bright lights in uninhabited environments like this. I think it is, but it's the internet, we don't have to agree.
