I'm a man of simple pleasures. A Remington 870 12 gauge does fine by me. Sporting clays are great fun c:

I had all four removed. It was kinda stuffty. I didn't swell up much and I was kind of laid on my ass for two-three days, and then I slowly returned to normal over the course of about two weeks. Couldn't go off pain meds for about two and a half weeks without slightly incapacitating pain.
Also be careful about keeping your socket clean of food stuff. stuff builds up in there if you're not careful and it's grosssss.
Got my wisdom teeth out about two months ago and I'm still kind of picking stuff out of there with my tongue, haha.

« on: December 16, 2013, 11:01:28 PM »why are bigger sensors betterLoads of reasons
A larger digital sensor provides better ISO performance and better bokeh (because physics I don't know why). Plus sharpness and all that good stuff. Basically, think of it like this. Sensors output to a given area, let's say 15MP. If you take a picture on a cropped sensor, that's less light creating an image and less surface area of sensor creating a digital image of equal size. A 15mp image created on a full frame sensor will correspond to more surface area and thus be sharper and brighter.
Now, the *largest* "sensors" you can get are actually scanned large format film, which is what a lot of fine art photographers use. It is, at minimum, 15 times larger than 35mm or "full frame" digital sensors.
p.s. I'm studying for a BFA (bachelor of fine art) and thus the program is far more conceptual. I can answer questions about how cameras work but I'm moreso studying the processes of making art and technical stuff is kind of less emphasized. Right now I'm very frustrated because I'm starting to hate photography. Or, not so much hate as just get incredibly frustrated with it and wonder if it's even worth my (or any artist's) time.
p.p.s. shooting 4x5 film is hella fun you get to use cameras like this:
(not mine but I own that same camera)
