Are they always interesting photographs? One would have to say 99.9% of the time they are! What we see through your eyes is a photographer who has a "wonderful ability of observation to see the moment and seize it in a click!!" Which I'm finding is far more important than all the techie stuff some people get excited knickers over! Or wasting time writing about technical stuff after the fact of the original shutter release! In most cases having little to do whether the shot worked or not! Most of the time the overstated technical comments are like a Monday morning discussion on how the Saturday football game should've been played. It really becomes quite tiresome after awhile!! However the techie stuff doesn't change what triggered the most important thing in the first place! " Light & Action of the Observed moment!" Click! Once again a pleasant visit in whatever town you visit! Or Bar/pub ! ;-) It's the Great Spirit's answer to better pictures. Yeah techie helps, but if one hasn't made an interesting exposure in the first place, who cares whether the whites are "joyously white in various degrees" or whatever technical crap some folks get wet knickers over!
