Next level dedication" makes it sound like a job. Sometimes it's just stubbornness or not knowing when to quit. I've seen people waste way more time on way less.
That's real commitment. Think about all the failed attempts before getting that one shot. You deal with bad weather, gear issues, and pure boredom. Only someone obsessed with perfection goes through that.
Three nights for one photo... that's a level of focus I can't even imagine. @janah83 called it next level dedication, and I have to agree. My mind would wander after the first twenty minutes.
