Beginner Douglas-Isle of Man

[jpgreenwood]

I have to visit Isle of man occasionally with work and my DSLR kit is too big so i've bought a second hand Olympus Pen EPM-1 with 14-40mm kit lens. Its old and I'm trying to get the best out of it. I've got a cheapie table-top tripod and a ND8 screw on filter. and the whole kit fits in a couple of shoes for my travel case.
Its never gonna win any awards but I'm still practicing. My first mistake was setting it to AUTO ISO and it was giving me 1600 grainy shots. I've now locked it to 200 and its performing better. Its not good in poor light obviously but i'm learning. Photos taken on Douglas sea front and Summerhill Glen park.

#1, splendid!
#2 very nice but the WB
#3 very interesting
#4 saturation, WB, and level?

Can you elaborate on the WB Kodiak? Also, do you think ive gone too far with saturation?

Can you elaborate on the WB Kodiak?

A good place to sample the WB could be on the falling
water… would eliminate the yellow cast in 2 & 4.

Also, do you think ive gone too far with saturation?

I think #2 is ok but yes for #4.

Yes, WB appears more natural to me.
