You just have to love the kit lens and the K-7 combo. I think the photographer here has quite a bit of skill. Beautiful image.

Thanks. I know there are others lens and body (i have also k3II and two sigma lens 120-400 and 28-70) but k7 and kit lens is to me like old bike, maybe rusty and has some problems but i love that "old bike" feeling if You know what i mean.

This is absolutely beautiful. These are the types of shots I just love.

I don't know if it's right to ask, but can you share some tips with this newbie on how you got the beautiful colors on the first one? If you don't want to, that is totally fine and I'll respect that. Or if I crossed the line by asking, I apologize in advance.

I think this is the right place to ask. My tips are: when im taking photos i try to set camera to little underexposed. Or if the contrast is too big i take two shots - one for the sky, and one for ground. And after postprocess i merge them in one take to create sort of hdr.
In postprocessing my settings are: highlights -60 shadows +60 saturation -20 but vibrance +20 (sometimes this values are diferent but not very much) also Clarity does the job.
My advice - take one picture and import in lightroom go to develop and move one slider and look. For me best learning method was editing one picture to 20 or more versions. It very helps with understanding how it works. And after 1000+ processed photos when im take picture i instantly know what i do with it later in home. So nothing new here - practice makes perfect.
