A very high percentage of photos by photographers, professional and skilled amateurs alike, post processed. Who are you trying to kid?
It was a response to Macs post?

Isn't part of the fun getting the light in the lighthouse? I would hate to have to photoshop it in.

So every time a luminar user adds an over the top sun Ray it is no longer a photo?

This is a “postcard” picture of the Portland Head lighthouse from over 10 years ago (D50) taken from a whale watch boat. I shot and shot from a moving platform until I nailed the light in the tower. My question, would you have done that or simply Photoshopped it in?
I was just like you and went for the actual light. It takes a lot of shooting versus PP. Although it really doesn't matter, as a photographer I prefer to add it in camera, not PP.

Online get a nautical chart from the NOAA showing the light; the duration of the flash time (in seconds) is on the chart and with a stopwatch you can measure the unlit time. I generally use the continuous modes of the camera to make life a bit easier and gives you a choice of pictures.
