Windmill, cattle yard and river reflections are my favourites. I prefer the more yellow of the cattle yard and panoramic.
Not sure I have much to offer in the way of tips, technically they look fine to me. |
Thanks Roger.

Some of them have a magenta cast. Make sure you shoot in RAW and the white balance is a critical adjustment. I find on my Nikon and Fuji cameras setting the white balance to the temperature of 4350 Kelvin looks perfect. It may be slightly different with a different model of camera but its likely to be similar. Setting the white balance correctly is the next most important setting after aperture and exposure lengths.
In your processing software that came with the camera there may be colour defringing as there is a little bit of blue/purple star fringing from the lens. There are no stars that are magenta in colour. So that is something to keep in mind. F1.7 is probably great during the day for background blur but for stars it tends to show false colour around stars. You may need to try stopping down to F2.8 or simply correct in processing as above.

Thanks Greg, I took the photos in RAW with the white balance on day light, I have tried setting the colour temperature before but could never get it right, I'll try 4350 Kelvin and see how it goes.
The photos were processed in Aperture (I got a Mac) and I'll have a fiddle and see if I can fix the stars up.
