People often question the place post production has in photography and I often here about the art of the darkroom. Here is a video about Ansel Adams and his darkroom techniques and proof the art of photography is more than just pointing a camera and getting an exposure. Post production isn't cheating, it is very much part of the art and often where an image can come alive. I particularly like his dodge and burn tools
