Walking around the park one sunday morning i observed that there were a couple of people with their digital cameras and just shooting casually on things they find interesting. What interested me though was that there were also kids on this shooting escapade and it's enjoying to see that they are starting with photography at an early age.

With the growing popularity of digital cameras and their cheap price tags, nearly anyone can start this hobby and what's good news is that anyone can actually profit from it. Internet plus digital camera equals profits. Yes, you don't need to be an expert to do this nowadays. Even your point and shoot camera can do this. You probably just have to know some basic rules and start shooting.

I have been a photography hobbyist and I started my liking of digital photography when I was amazed by what it can do and how it can truly express your creativity. When I bought my first digital camera and started to learn to use it, I was amazed how easy it was. There are a lot of tutorials on the internet to further enhance your shooting skills and mind you they're not hard.

Going to the earning perspective, the internet can be your easy audience and selling your digital photos have never become this easy. There are micro stock photo agencies online that can sell your photos for you and they can be downloaded as many times as you can count and earn as much as your PayPal account can hold.

Stock photos can used in many ways than one. If you pictures from the magazine's advertisements or even banners on the internet. They use stock photos for this. Graphics for websites are also one use of stock photos. If you can provide these photos then you can profit from it.

Shooting photos is such an amazing experience as you freeze that single moment and capture it in your camera. These memories are precious and that's the reason why I say that you can profit from it. People love pictures and websites and magazines are dull without them. So what a great way to go and start making something out of it.

Two of the sites that I use for submitting my stock photos are Shutterstock and Bigstockphoto. These sites approve your photos and then when someone downloads it, you then get paid. You can accummulate your earnings from your photos so make sure you send in your best work and as many as you can. Be careful though and read their policies for approval and only submit your best work.

Isn't fun to earn doing what you do best and doing what you love? Taking this hobby one step further is to get you a storage space and a place to showcase your photos.
