Definitely one of my favourite images, and one that makes full use of the dynamic rage of the K-1 and it's ability to produce accurate realistic looking colour even in the shadow detail that was boosted in posts processing.
It always comes up for consideration when we are picking out our two or three images to print each year.

If I have to plan anything I'll be late, if I just plan to wander, I might get there on time.

That's great use of a 200mm lens to get you a shot you wouldn't get any other way. People often use panos for wide angle shots, but you also get images with framing that isn't available any other way with long lenses. If you start walking down the hill for a wider single frame image, the background ridge will appear to be lower, and overall a less effective images. Nice balance of red rock and and blue background in that one. It's all about the colour.

Where are all those white balance enthusiasts now?
Some think gloating is beneath me... they're wrong. :D

Some moderator should turn this into a thematic thread.

The camera WB doesn't affect raw... only the jpegs. In my test I shot raw on the front card and jpeg on the back.

For the blue light effect (and everything else) I use raw. As I showed in the above link, the camera does the white balance and strips the blue channel so with an auto -white balance you won't be able to restore the blue even if you want it. But if you set the WB to daylight, I imagine you'd get a pretty good blue in blue light.

According to this poll, 90% of the forum believe I should white blanch my blue light images, so I'm guessing for 90% or the forum, it isn't a thing.

But I tend to ignore such attempts to ignore reality and impose one's own sense of what's right. I tend to go with what the camera tells me was there, and with what I saw.
Here's some more...

People are free to have whatever preference they want artistically. My choice is to not white balance blue light images.
