Re: Harry Benson on low light photography On the other hand,
Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships.

Clyde Butcher also uses post processing in his work. Both are fine photographers and artists.
But it certainly doesn't mean we should copy their methods and expect great results. Too often people do stuff because somebody famous does it rather than doing it because it's part of one's style or what he wants to achieve.
I don't think that in camera, out of camera or no processing at all is the determinant of the quality of a photograph. I've seen wonderful and highly acclaimed work by people whose techniques employ any one or more of these three philosophies.
