I liked photography since I was 13 years old so I read a lot about camera types. I knew some famous photographers such as Ansel Adams and Yousuf  Karsh.  I have a Nikon D5100 which has a lot of feature that most of photographers uses such as  the monitor can be angled and rotated and the camera’s body is so light that you can carry it with you wherever you go ,
