I have very little experience with landscape photography, so this vacation was a good chance to practice. Here's the beach taken with the ulta-wide angle 10-20mm Sigma on 10mm. The water really is that color-- a wonderful shade of blue, and its so clear you can see down 30 feet.

Thanks for all the comments. If you have any suggestions on how to improve a beach shot please let me know. The main thing that bothers me about this is it seems a little less than sharp, and I'm not sure if its the lens, an artifact of a longish exposure, or something I've done in setting up the shot. I *was* careful to use a remote to trigger the exposure.

 

This was taken at dusk, so the sky was dark, and I did have a graduated ND filter with me, but don't know if it was used on this particular shot. From the look of it, I'd say yes, but it was fairly dark. I tried coming back another day for shots when it was completely dark, but the wind was blowing so hard the camera was shaking on the tripod. Also, I don't have a watch which can time the long exposures in the dark :-(
