I can't exactly remember off my head what I did here but I can tell you it's probably some white balance, tone curve adjustments.

That's part of that look to add to the "mist" and smoke feel in the photo. It's very subtle.
I treated myself to an upgrade of Capture 1 Fujifilm v20 to C1 Pro v21 so I can now work on all my legacy Pentax RAW images in addition to Fujifilm RAFs. That means the move from Lightroom to C1 is now complete.
Also my lovely lady bought me a Plustek OpticFilm 8100 film scanner so I can now start scanning many of my old 35mm slides and filmstrips. A daunting task but in these current months of short days and Tier 4 Covid restrictions it's an ideal time to get it done.
Did you get any photo gear?
Am looking to buy Affinity Photo is there's an end of year sale. Already have it on Windows but as Serif is tight arsed it's not a cross platform license and would like a copy for my new M1 MacBook.
A couple of years ago I picked up one of these Carbon tripods. Not actually this brand, but clearly the same tripod from the same factory. There are a few choices on Amazon, I think I paid around £80-90 for mine. I am a landscape shooter but after many years of trying to use a tripod, feeling I should us a tripod, but realising I hated using one even for landscape - I stopped - was gratifying to see James Popsys channel on YT where he's one of the few landscape shooters that hates using tripods too. That said this tripod has had loads of use over lockdown as I've been using it for work video shooting. Very pleased with it. Obviously you can go more expensive than this - but this obvious copy of more expensive ones may actually come from the same Chinese factory anyway.
Compact Travel Tripod via Amazon.
What I like about this tripod is how small it folds. It's really light too. So you really don't notice carrying it around all day. There's also the option to use one leg as a monopod.
I used to use tele and ultra tele for work but now fisheye and wide are my preferred option.

Lovely photos.
Ultra wide and Fisheye can look great, but you need very strong compositions. They're popular because people like you make them look easy to use but I prefer 28mm - 300mm mostly as it makes composition easier for me. Simply put, I don't think I am good enough to use them well.

One of the reasons I like the canon 6D so much is the raw photos actually already look pretty good. When I had a fuji, the raws were pretty rough so I shot jpegs more often than not, as they had some quite nifty in-camera software including curves adjustment and colour tweaking.
Composition is everything!
