I’ll start with a little bit of a back story in regards to my A6300. I’m almost coming up on a year since purchasing it. The main reason I got it was to use as an introduction to film video.

Victoria Street with the Nikon DF
I have been forcing myself to take the weekends off from the gym. It’s hard for me to not be active so I still try to go for a walk to get some exercise.

In the past week I have used it extensively, just for personal and fun photography. I am anxious to use it only paid sessions along side my D750 ( which is getting repaired at the moment). Until then, I’m going to continue to shoot as much as I can.
