Coyotes: How 50 MegaPixels and a Sigma Zoom Lens Make a Difference

 Living up against the foothills in Colorado is almost like being in a constant Mutual of Omaha episode, and I keep my cameras constantly at the ready. My upgrading from a Canon 60D to a Canon 5DS-R with 50 megapixels and a Sigma 150 to 600 mm lens really allows me to get better shots. 

In this article, I shot a picture of some coyotes I saw moving in brush about 1000 feet away from my house. Here is the original photo:

I put a circle around the coyotes to make it easier for you to see them in the original photo. The 5DS-R is 50 megapixel and it gives me a lot of flexibility to zoom in digitally with a crop. Here is the final photo:

So yes you can be a great photographer with a lower resolution camera and a 100-300mm lens, but your job is much harder since you need to be closer.
