Jake Pike's photostream

Hi, I am a currently 14 years old and am a ameuter photographer who lives in Dorset. I generally shoot the jurassic coast on the Dorset coastline which has to be one of the best coastlines in the world.

I like anything that includes artistic merit, with new angles and perspectives not yet photographed. However I don't like stuff which is what I would call over processed. In this new photographic world of photoshop and endless pointless snaps, its all about the editing rather than the taking, which I think is wrong. Some of the best landscape photographers I have ever seen shoot on film - they don't need to merge HDRs or clone out the unwanted object in their photo. The best photographers will get it right first time round, film or digital.

On the other hand, I do think that digital photography is brilliant and much more flexible which is why most people, including myself use it.

My favourite photographers inlcude: David Noton, Joe Cornish, Adam Burton, Michael Paynton, Karl taylor and Anthony Spencer.
