I don't think you've asked.

I keep a high quality UV filter on my 70-200mm and 24-105mm, but never on the 500mm. I've got a circular polarizing filter for the 24-105mm and a GND, but I seldom use them.

That shot of the chapel was with the light behind me and a super blue sky and I DID pull the RGB curve down a touch in the middle and pumped saturation up to around 10 out of 100. I pushed Contrast up to around 20 out of 100.

Not in the chapel shot, but in some of my Grand Canyon shots, particularly midday with haze, I apply a Warming filter in DxO and pull it way down to around 20%, while also adding a lot of Contrast.

Dave
