Making Beautiful Photographs
Luminous Landscape publish an article by Pete Myers titled “Making Images – Not Taking Images”, which I suspect you will either completely agree or disagree with…
“Taking an image and making an image are two completely different animals. What I often see in landscape photography are photographers taking beautiful pictures, and performing minimal work on the image in postproduction before printing the image. For these photographers, they believe that their work relies on mastering the tools at hand – the camera and lens – and using them to best advantage in the field – not working on the image in postproduction.
While many of these images are beautiful and compelling in their own right, I would suggest to these photographers that they have not availed themselves of the true magic of photography in the digital photographic era. We need not take beautiful pictures, we can make beautiful pictures – and the computer is the tool that lets us perform the magic.”

In the world of photography it's a pretty gutsy article to write. Personally I give my applause to it as I do mostly photojournalistic style photography and often tweak my images to better convery the feelings I had when I took the picture. The down side (for me) is a lot of added post-processing time that has to be done right away before I forget the mood of that particular shot.

This has nothing to do with the digital age.
Photographers have long been aware that lab work is just about as necessary to get the most out of their images than it is to take them properly in the field. (Well transparency fans may disagree.)
