Caldy beach

We go here a LOT! I love the light and the space (and the dog loves the mud but that's another story.)
I would love to be able to just capture the place properly in a photo...when the tide is out the beach seems endless...until it runs into North Wales!!
I love it. I don't think I have captured it properly yet though so any help would be gratefully received.
This is one from a walk there this week.

My new camera is able to do panoramic shots too so that's new to me...this was one of my first attempts.

Re: Caldy beach

The first thing that springs to my eye, Rambler, is that the horizons are sloping slightly in both pictures. This is easily remedied in post processing.

Again, I do not know what camera it is you have, so it is difficult for me to give any constructive feed-back, but the photos seem to be monochromatic on my screen. Is that intended?

One thing I will say is, that when taking photos of this sort, set the camera to Landscape and focus on the foreground, (the pre-set DOF (Depth of Field) setting should take care of the sharpness in the background.

Other than that a nice set of pics. Well done.
Kit 1
Nikon D60
Nikkor 18-55mm
Tamron 300mm
Sigma 400mm

Thanks.
It's a Sony DCS-HX5V
I think the monochrome thing is down to the light...that's what it looked like I think ????

Thanks... in what way?!!! It's an upgrade for me from our old point and shoot and I am loving the pics it has produced so far...I just want to get the very best I can from it, so probably need to understand it better.

Re: Caldy beach

I was particularly impressed with the panorama function. Just click and sweep, even on moving subjects - amazing!

Also the low light feature for night shots.
