Photography is increasingly a ‘cool hobby’. From my experience in the industry, I have found that we are witnessing a real surge in the popularity of photography. This ranges from keen amateur photographers, to seasoned professionals, who make their living from talking pictures. Whichever category you fit into you will want to look into getting a digital SLR camera. SLR stands for single lens reflex, and these are the cameras which often have a large lens on the front. These days they have gone digital, hence Digital SLR (DSLR).
