On our flights home from Uganda in February 2019, we were fortunate enough to be seated in a new class aboard United flights. Aptly named United Premium Plus, the seats are somewhere in-between normal economy and long-haul business class.
But are they worth it? We have some thoughts.
South Mountain Park near Tempe is a large, 16,000-acre park that just begs to be explored.
But due to the park’s immense size (it is considered to be the largest municipal park in the USA and among the largest in the world), odds are good you’ll have to visit this one time and time again to even begin to scratch the surface.
During my first visit to Tempe, I decided to play it safe and stuck to the portion closest to the city, known as Pima Canyon, and had a wonderful day out.
In this one, I wanted to share some of the best things that can be seen from the trails as well as tips for those visiting the park for the first time.
Southwest’s boarding procedure is an interesting one.
Rather than boarding in large groups at random, Southwest assigns specific boarding numbers to all passengers ranging from A1-60, B1-60, and C1-60 to board the planes.
This is done at check-in, and those who check-in 24 hours in advance vie to get a better boarding position than those who check in later in the day.
But there is an option for those who do not want the dreaded C boarding class to appear on their ticket- Southwest Early Bird Check In.
I tried this one out on a recent flight, and thought it would be appropriate to share when this one is worth it and the other cases when it really isn’t.
There is a lot of confusion on the performance difference between lenses if used on a specific camera body, especially with regards to using full frame lenses on crop sensor cameras (like the Sony a6000, my camera, which uses a “crop” APS-C sensor).
Cameras like mine take lenses designed for crop sensors (naturally), but also take lenses that are rated for full frame cameras (like the Sony a7iii).
The confusion comes in to play in what kind of image these two lenses will produce at comparable focal lengths, as the discussion of camera “crop factors” is often used interchangebly with lenses as much as they are for sensors. Even I have to admit being messed up on it for quite some time (hence this post).
If comparing a full frame rated lens with a crop sensor lens on the same crop sensor camera body, the main difference is this: nothing.
