Lovely shots Murph, all with fantastic colours. My favourite is the original #3. Something about the grass in the dunes at the bottom of the picture adds a nice contrast of texture. (I also like the stick in the sea

.)
Thanks for the exif info - very useful. Thanks as well for posting some photos to go with all of the gear wrangling in the last few days.
P.S. We still don't know what tripod set up you use
P.P.S. I hope the Northumberland tourist board have you on commission.
Nex 5, Nex 6 (IR), A7M2, A99 and a bunch of lenses.
