This is Fistral beach in Newquay. Not sure how this can be improved. I have now been asked to do a portfolio of my image's. Where can I get one from please, and what's the best one?

There is an exposure compensation button that will help you to change the brightness of the image. If the subject is dark, use a minus figure to keep it dark.
I always turn the setting onto shade, and the ISO onto 200 as with the sensitivity. Am I using the wrong settings?
I use these settings on AV for still things, and TV for moving objects.

I have an Pentax bridge camera X-90 camera. I take landscapes and interior shots but I notice the shutter release is slow. When I went to Salisbury cathedral to take shots, the picture looked washed out (overexposed). I am only learning and have had it on autofocus, TV, AVG and other settings but the pictures all the look the same. I notice when ever I put it on ‘Green Mode’ it looks a bit better but not much. What is Green Mode?
I would like the Pentax K30, as the Kr is no longer available. What I would like to know is if a sensor on a DSLR is better then that of a bridge camera? I know that the lens on the K30 is 18-55m, but I am not sure what it is on the X-90, does anyone know? Thanks very much and hope you can help me?

I like it, some nice colours . IMHO I'd prefer a bit more foreground or on the other hand maybe see the shot in landscape , one small thing if you can correct the slant of the horizon... When you say portfolio do you mean hard copy ie prints in a"portfolio" or in a digital format ie disc ,card ,or usb stick ?
If it's the former then you can buy a portfolio from an art shop or stationers they come all sizes from A4 upwards.
hope this helps ..jeff...
You say you've been asked to do a portfolio. Who? Why? This might decide the format.

Here is another of the image which I messed about with. Which is the better picture please?
