 Learning curves

I’m learning a few things about avian photography. One, being close to the subject covers a lot of issues. You can’t pull detail from a bird a half mile out. Two, I think pixels do matter. Though I’m shooting a 24mp camera, it’s still an amateur camera. They tell me you need at least 40mp and full frame. Glass matters. I’m shooting a f5.6 zoom. The way to go is primes. Primes are fix focus lenses, say 500mm only. And why not? All my zooms I shoot at full power anyway. I’m wasting my money. 

And that is the final thing I’m learning. It takes a camera case full of money to achieve the results I’m after.
