A trick i was told to do is use the daylight setting on the white balance. It works really good. Did you also use aN LPF??
in RT the WB was to me, better using the "Automatic - RGBgrey"
Ah, the camera was set to 'cloudy' in WB setting, where I had left it previously, so next time I get chance I'll try Daylight setting, thanks.
No filters used, other than a protective Hoya UV, I know the arguments against it tho. I feel safer with it on.

Not 'way over the top' simply great images. Nice one. I've been mulling over the 11-18mm and these are a show case of what it can do. Thank you.
Thanks. The lens is a beauty. On the US site others say it's ok from 16mm to 18mm on Full Frame. At 18mm it's generally ok with a protective filter but if I also place a CPL on too, it does cause the vignetting a bit, same as ND filters on the adapter/rings. If you shoot both FF and ASPC then I defo recommend it.

Great pics man!

Just out of curiosity, does the K1 have the astrotracer pn it and did you use it?
Thanks Spad.
Yes the K1 mkII has the inbuilt astrotracer which I did indeed use.
I have found why the colours have come to life in RT processing, I believe it's (mainly) LAB Adjustments settings "chromaticity according to chromaticity" - wonderful

Just copied the RT settings and applied to another shot taken 2 days later. but with clouds rolling in which adds to the pic IMHO.
ISO 800, 40 seconds, f2.8, at 18mm on the DA* 11-18.
I can't explain why the colours are there? need to investigate further....
I'm stunned at the colours, yes probably way over the top but then.....

Number 7 is my pick. Nice set, I have been there many times in the distant past, lovely area.

[quote:3496ace15f="OldTaffy"]Just four of the photos I took while at Runswick Bay a few weeks ago. No artistic or photographic merit.

All good clear pictures - what's not to like. i have been to Whitby a few times over the years, (last time 40 years ago) but can't say for sure if I've been to Runswick Bay. Thank you for sharing these.

Took this in September, single shot, ISO 400, f2.8, 11-18mm DA*, K1 mkII, 20 secs at 18mm.
No stacking, processed in Rawtherapee - which I'm still in the learning curve with. Oh I found that the WB was to me, better using the "Automatic - RGBgrey", I did try earlier to get more colour but failed and decided on this. So if anyone knows a better WB or method to improve please contribute.
