I've seen this photographer's work before, where he takes hundreds/thousands of photos from one spot over the course of several hours, then selects those to compile into a single fabulous image. This is one of my favorites.

The site is a complete PITA.
Got a glance at the photo looked interesting then all kinds of crap popped up.

Fine.
On a cellphone it does that with the silly link and have no desire to mess around with copying it to a desktop.

On a PC works fine. I just asked me about cookie things. One answer and the article was there.

Your choice. I would not have shared the link if I had any issues with it. Your phone settings may not be set for blocking ads and pop-ups. I just went to UHH on my phone, opened the link, and had no issues.

No problem whatsoever in accessing the website, viewing the image and reading the article. That said, all I can say is that I applaud the photographer's preconception and creative intent.

Almost as much as I envy the facility he apparently had in being able to hop on a helicopter to go do some random scouting in Iceland, his ability to bring along the staff/crew/sherpas/gear-bearers/assistants he managed to bring, and the 21 hours he devoted toward shooting a frame every however many seconds or minutes apart he programmed his camera to shoot --or did he use some sort of remote/wireless controller?-- while he sipped cognac and smoked a stogie in the comfort of what? the heated rim-of-the-volcano digs he had his 'help' set up for him?

Yes, the envy I feel is disgusting and the scenario I described could probably be all wrong, but if anybody'd like to endow me with a grant of some kind --or maybe a Go-Fund-Me page?-- I'd be most appreciative. And I guarantee I'd produce an absolutely kick-ass pic of a squirrel, or pretty much anything else the nice Nat'l Geo folks would like to pay me to take.

I'll even bring my own cognac.

Oh, I wouldn't be surprised if you were able to get a grant to investigate the effects of cameras on squirrels.....

Interesting, and a spectacular landscape done by heavy manipulation.

It is truly art, IMHO.

No issues for me. I am also not on a phone, I use a laptop. No adverts and no annoying popups.

Sometimes I take a number of photos for one final image too, but not over a long period of time. Sometimes I bracket (different exposure for each that is - like HDR), and some other times I just take a few shots in M-mode (same exposure and other all other settings for each one, and even including a custom White Balance, and my camera on the tripod), and I use them all, or some of them, for the final image processing. It's not something I do very often though.

Here is a copy of the photo from the webpage....
