Using a 360 degree Panoramas to "break-out" and discover new framing possibilities
I'm impressed with new vision opened up by making 360 degree panoramas. This comes from a current thread by Valentin Arfire here.

This is a nice pano to explore. It also allows one to study at home, in the comfort of one's chair, with a cup of good tea, the possible compositions one might have.
I like this way of exploring and wish we could have our little orb on a walking stick, set it up and let it do its thing and walk on and at home explore further.
I imagined I had done such a walk and found this beach scene of yours:

I really like the view as it is as if the scene was on a large canvas sail, filled by the wind. The electronics on the right connects us to this century.

There's a valuable synthetic opportunity for creative work starting with your panoramas constructed from so many pieces. One might, perhaps, obtain points of view that go beyond the psychological restraints of our habit and usual choices governing our framing a scene with a single still frame.
This could provide a way from "breaking out" of one's way of doing things to look at scenes in a different manner. Then perhaps, armed with new ideas, one might return and take that picture under perfect conditions with the correct lens in just one or two very well placed frames.
