I have an older Nikon D5100, but rarely use it becuase its not portable. It was a great camera for family functions and such, but its so big and heavy that it was more of a pain to take on hikes or travelling, and cumbersome enough i was always afraid of breaking it if i put it in my backpack.

My main photography involves street life, architecture, and detailed perspectives shot with a Nikon D5100, with editing minimal in Lightroom to enhance the contrast.
