Totally agree David, it's not safe to travel out there at night (or even the day) especially with this sort of gear.
I always feel uneasy when I go out at night shooting landscapes.

I must admit I like to keep the photos as real as possible.
There's a big difference IMO between post processing in PS to enhance colours and sharpness and actually altering the image to add things in that where not really there.
The analogy is the same with film, obviously the film needs processing, then some dodging or burning in the dark room.
Once you start to superimposing different images/negs etc etc, to me it looses it's appeal.
