Instead of turning this into a sooc vs. raw topic - which we encounter ad nauseam here - would you offer your own insights and tips on light?Won't disagree but there is a world of difference between what comes out of a camera compared to a properly enhance image. The camera does not see as much as the human eye/brain/imagination.

Also, please tell me in what post was I advocating manufacturing light?

You said finding good light is difficult, but that is where post processing comes in. It sounded like post processing was a solution to not finding good light.

Surely everything (bar the original image) in PP is manufactured?

The discussion is about light, and good light definitely lifts a shot to another level. But when it comes to what can drag a shot down and even ruin it, that's where shadows come in.

To improve my landscape shots, I need to go out when the light is what I want it to be and not be satisfied with the light that I have. I usually try to "work the scene" and move around to take advantage of the lighting that I have at that moment in time but I can see how seeking out the right light ahead of time for a scene would be beneficial.
Yes, besides patience and some more patience, it also takes a healthy dose of commitment!

Here's my contribution. Basically an overcast day with lots of fog, high on a mountain (by NY State's Catskill Mountain standards)

How about deciding about the light when you can't see any or very poor light ?
This is my first contribution to this forum and my shoot from last night.
With my eye I could see bright sea surface only, coming from moonlight.
Let see how much camera was able to catch lights (mountains , fog, clouds, more sea surface … ) Almost no post editing.
Sony A7II , Nikkor ED 180mm/2.8 f4, 30sec, ISO 100

Ansel Adams would be proud.
