Wasabi power lithium batteries from Amazon. Paid something like $12 each versus $45 for OEM ones.

Lens Filter - ok you will hear all kinds of opinions on this one. Me, I put a filter on the front of all my lenses as soon as they come out of the box. i also never use a lens cap and I spend a lot of time shooting in dusty/sandy places. To me I would rather replace a filter than a lens. Other people will disagree.
Most if not all of your example images could have been taken with a 18-55 lens - the kit lens. The main difference between the kit lens and "better" lenses in its focal length range is the last 5 to 10% increase in image quality (IQ) will cost an additional $400 to $1000.
Here is a link to some images from the kit lens.
Here is a link to a lens focal length simulator
In your example images, I am going to guess that a lot of them were taken at around 24 to 28mm.
I am going to go out on a limb here a bit and say the only two lenses you are going to need (for quite a while - several years), are the DA 18-55 WR and the DA 55-300 WR. Between the two, you can cover everything. They are as small as you can go and as light weight as possible, and both WR (need to have the WR or AW designation as there are non WR models also available). Using stitching will give you wide angle shots. Long exposures will give you low light shots (the longer the exposure the greater the need for a tripod).
Tripods can induce sticker shock too. Removing the last ounce becomes VERY expensive. Here is a good overview.
Note - all tripods usually come with a center column. The shake that the legs remove, if you use the center column up - it will put back in. So, keep the center column down, and since you have the tilt screen on your camera body, use it in LiveView to frame the shot and shoot the image.
I took a look at the Ks2 user manual, and it does not support a cabled external shutter release. You have your choice of an IR shutter release, or a WiFi (smart phone) app tethered capability. See pages 61 and 91 of the manual.
The Pentax OEM battery is very good. It takes about 6 hours to charge and is good for about 600 shots. A good third party battery costs 1/4 and is good for 3/4 of the shots and charges in a bit over an hour or so. Check out a Wasabi battery on Amazon.
