As above.

What camera were you using? The blue looks awful.

You chose a good weekend to be down. Great weather, and I love St.Davids - toying moving round the coast there myself. We didn't go to whitesands that weekend but some deserted beaches just around the headland that had no-one else on them - which is what a recluse like me likes

They are somewhat overexposed - if you don't have any existing software, google for paint.net or gimp (or look at the online photography resources sticky) that are both free downloads - a few tweaks to turn the light down a notch or 2 and adjust the colours will do wonders for the outdoors shots.

to be honest i should sit down and read the instructions to the sony cybershot i own but never seem to have the time,i just put it on the auto shot setting and shoot,note to self learn how to use cammera properly.

You'll be able to improve those photos in Photoshop if you've got a bit of spare time. I've done one for you to give you an idea. I don't really know what I'm doing in PS so if you do then you've got a head start on me!

Edited to add that your camera is picking some odd settings by the way. It's well worth reading the manual, understanding how the camera works and then practicing.
