This photo is of Robin Hood’s Bay in North Yorkshire, which can be found between Whitby and Scarborough. To you it’s simply landscape shot, to me the photograph is a little more than that.
I took the picture during my recent off-roading adventure with Jeep. While I was drawn to take the image because of the landscape, it was, in fact, an experiment in photo-editing.
Having used different editing software for ages, I am now getting to grips with Photoshop. I wanted to see what would happen if I tinkered with the colour balance. After much experimentation I couldn’t get the result I wanted until Mrs Adams walked into the room and we edited the picture together.
Enough about the geeky details. It won’t be of interest to everyone!
Despite having been the local newspaper reporter for the North York Moors area many years ago, I’d never actually visited Robin Hood’s Bay before.
This particular spot was ideal for looking down over the bay. Although beautiful, it is also a harsh environment.
The weather on the day in question was very changeable. At times the sun broke through the sky, at other times the wind was so strong coming in off the North Sea that you could barely stand up.

It is a beautiful shot. You (and Mrs Adams) are obviously enjoying PhotoShop. Would you recommend it? I just use the basic software that comes with the Mac at the mo (or apps) but feel like I’ve reached the stage where I’d like to tinker more.
Well yes, I do recommend Photoshop but it is, compared to some rivals, a mammoth application and I’m still getting to grips as to how you use it and what all the commands do.
Hi John, your photograph captures everything I imagine the scenery in Yorkshire to be. Wild, rugged and totally beautiful.

Yes, that particular part of Yorkshire is certainly rugged, wild and beautiful.
Stunning view, I’ve never had the pleasure of visiting Yorkshire.
Thank you for linking up
I’ve been all round Yorkshire: Barnsley, North York Moors, Sheffield, Leeds. Don’t go much any more but much of it is very photogenic.
Great shot, that coast is beautiful. We stayed at the youth hostel at Boggle Hole which is tucked into the bay just beyond the village, well worth a visit.

Now that’s worth knowing. May take the kids one day.
Wow, an incredible view, the sea looks gorgous! Clio lending a helping hand for Coombe Mill
The sea may look gorgeous, but I wouldn’t have suggested swimming in it that day!
Wow. Such a stunning part of the world!
It is a really stunning part of the world.
Beautiful. What stunning landscape

Glad you liked the landscape. It’s very photogenic and worth exploring.
What a view! That is just beautiful despite they grey looking sky x
It’s certainly an area I would like to visit again on a sunny day.
Great landscape with waves, rugged rocks, great details!
Thanks Carol. I hadn’t thought of it like that, there is a lot in this image isn’t there?
A fantastic landscape and obviously some very good editing skills too. I would never have guessed you’d tweaked it all.
Very kind words, but you should have seen the mages that didn’t make it! It took a lot of work to get to this point.
OMG what a view, makes me miss home. I come from near here. Great shot! ?
You come form a very beautiful part of the world.
