Hi Tin, are you working on new course ?
Tip 89 : be rich
Cold hard facts
If you pick up any hobby and do it seriously, it will cost you time and money. I mean anything, no matter what it is.
Anyone can talk about photography and gear.
Almost no one can talk about the things the higher experts on the field say and do. This is why I subscribed, to get access to that privilege knowledge. I follow ALL the best photography youtubers and you are THE ONLY ONE that has ever mentioned tips and things that the pros do. That's prime knowledge right there. Definitely a great value for anyone.
One of the best at describing the process of creating a story with a photo. The reference to the potential (or loss of) for a sale is brilliant. By mentioning other respected photographers, you bring deeper connections to the craft. You clearly show that photography is a thinking man’s game. Bravo!
That's so very kind of you. Thank you! It's so much fun, so much thinking for this artistic endeavor indeed.
Valuable information with no filler. You just get to the point and you're very clear about what works and why. I got a lot out of this and I've been shooting for forty years. This is terrific. I want to watch your other videos.
Nice tips. Many thanks for these. The short video of the bear mother walking towards the camera and the bear child just appearing a bit later unexpected out of nowhere is genious. I love it. 👍❤️
Wow. I have never seen such incredibly beautiful wildlife photos. They really speak to me. They're so much more than documentary records. Thank you. You are a true artist.
I'm an architectural photographer so I don't often learn that much from other kinds of photography experts like you. But, I can use everyone of your tips in my work. Thanks for some great education about the technical side of using my camera.

great. thanks for the tips. really helpful.
Thanks for your kind words!
Thank you so much. Some of the tips are really worth being considered the next time I'm out shooting BIF.
I love BIF. I may do a more in depth video on BIF later.
Thanks!!! great video and information
Glad to hear that. Let me know if you have any questions.
Nice , thanks for the tips. much appreciated
So glad to hear that! Let me know if you have any questions.
Excellent tips, although many of them are expensive. I really like the one about oversharpening before cropping. I gotta try that one!
Good point. I see it more of “borrowing” because these cameras and lenses preserve value really well. I once bought a $5000 lens and used it for a few years and was able to sell it $5500 used because the price of the new lens actually increased.
@@TinManLee deamn, thats a w.
Thank you so much. Very informative and excellent tips. Learned so much from this video!

Great set of advice. Thanks.
Great info. Thank u
Great video Tin Man. ❤
Great video, the tips shared are so useful.
Great advice- thank you.!
Great info many thanks for sharing your knowledge,so happy to learn about sharpening
Your tips were very helpful and 2 tips were knew for me. High mega-pixel related resize and prepare a background. I am using background well but preparing makes more sense.
Good information and well illustrated. The comment about not underexposing is a good one. I did a series of group photographs with bracketing set -1 EV, 0.0 EV, +1.0 EV. The 0.0 were the best but the next best were the +1.0 EV which still provided a good deal of color fidelity. With -1.0 EV and adjusting the Raw file in Photoshop there were color shifts as a result of too little data.
Tin Man you are becoming a guru! All these tips are on point, essentially the first two. I only own 3 lenses, a 400mm f/2.8, a 600mm f/4, and a 135mm f/2!
Woohoo 135 f2! I recently bought one and can’t wait to try it.
Great video! Thanks for this, I'm an urban street photographer and this was helpful...

Awesome to hear :)
Copy this. I 'm an retired amateur photographer so I don't often learn that much from other kinds of photography experts like you. But, I can use everyone of your tips in my work. Thanks for some great education about the technical side of using my camera ... /// THX ;)
Great video! Two questions: 1) If you're using the appropriate minimum shutter speed (say, 1/2000 for small birds) and keeping your aperture wide open, how do you simply choose to use a low ISO? Aren't you just bound to the lowest ISO that will properly expose the subject? And if your metering is correct, won't auto-ISO do that for you? I've always thought of using low ISO as the objective for every shot---but with wide open aperture and shutter speed determined by the wildlife, you have no choice in ISO. It's the only variable to change to get your exposure right, and you keep it as low as possible. But it will often be much higher than you like, especially when shooting--as you recommend--in low light conditions.
2) How do you quickly adjust ISO for proper subject exposure without using auto ISO when shooting fast moving wildlife, like birds moving between areas of very different lighting (e.g., woodland areas with dappled lighting)? Seems like if you're always trying to adjust for ISO you will frequently miss those shots that require very fast reaction time.
Thanks again for the content! Really useful stuff.
Very good questions. Maybe I will address those in a separate video. As for choosing the lowest iso, I look at the real time rgb histogram or zebra (in Sony) while dialing the iso to make sure to expose to the right if it’s low light situation. As for birds flying from bright area to shadow, or animals moving from bright to shadow back and forth, using Auto iso plus 2/3 with matrix or evaluating metering is a good idea. Lately I don’t use auto iso. I just think about which shot I aim to get. Whether I like the animal in shadow or bright, and get in position to aim for that shot and give up the others that wouldn’t lead to an epic shot.
@@TinManLee That makes sense--thanks for the reply! I think auto ISO with a fast shutter speed will continue to be my "walking around" setting so I can react to unexpected shots; but I really like the idea of the goal being more intentional, finding the right light and background for the epic shot, where you can take a bit more time to dial in the settings and minimize ISO as much as possible. Thanks again for the great videos.
Excellent information!
Good stuff, pal. Keep it coming.
Big thanks buddy for the support

Thank you for your interesting video
Thank you Tin Man!
You are welcome.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge 🙏 Greetings from México 🇲🇽👋
Excellent vid 👍
This is very helpful
Thank you !!!
Fantastic pointers! I've dipped my toe into wildlife but I mostly photograph dogs. Surprisingly, anything slower than 1/1250 will produce motion blur with my speed demons. 🤣 Thank you so much for the video! I can't wait to put some of these tips into practice!
Photographing dogs is a completely different ball game and you need even higher shutter speed than wildlife. I’ve tried that lol.
I shoot my dogs from time to time. I don't use very short shutter speeds because the images look frozen. You want to show a motion in the picture. Just like when you shoot cars, you need to follow the subject and let background show motion blur.
@USGrant-xq4us I'm trying to shoot my dog too. Even when the pics aren't great, it's still very enjoyable. 😄
Some terrific tips but in my opinion some tips that will make the people that cannot afford the mega pixel cameras, or the equipment needed to edit those same photos think they can never achieve great photos, same as requiring lenses that are well over the $5000 mark here in Canada to get the shots. I shot back when digital cameras were first starting to appear on the scene and captured some fantastic images in my time the only difference, I had to work a bit harder to make it happen and I wasn't going home with a hundred or more great shots for the day but 1-10 and was happy with that. Don't forget that part of your viewing audience are people who buy even entry level cameras and they are the onces that keep the companies doors open to produce the amazing work horses that are out there in camera land today. With all that said I liked the way you presented so you have gained another subscriber.
Very well said and I totally agree. Thank you for subscribing. I admit I’m just too obsessed to try to get the ultimate difficult shots in low light lol. I did see some of my friends getting wonderful shots in low light with tamron 150-600 or some of those super zooms. Which is exactly what you said. They had to work harder. They had to miss quite a lot of shots in one encounter to get a few decent shots also by really pushing the iso and expose to the right. And it’s still possible. After some years I realized that those low light action shots were what I was really interested in so I wanted to maximize my opportunity. And with mirrorless a lot of the zoom lenses focus pretty quickly these days. I hadn’t tried like the Sony 200-600 in super low light. Some said they are fast. But I did see friends with zooms that their cameras wouldn’t focus while I was already taking pics for 15 mins or so with the prime. Another option would be to buy some used prime lens from few generations back. They are a lot heavier but the focusing speed is still lightning fast such as the old 500 f4. Very good points thanks a lot.
Thank you for the video. I’m just trying out wildlife photography, so for now I’m just using my iPhone and a telephoto lens until I know I want to get more serious. I’ve been doing it for a couple weeks and my photos have gotten better, but sharpness is still a challenge. I know there’s a limit to what my phone can do, but I hope your tips will help with my very basic setup.
Phone and telephoto lens is a good start and it’s so lightweight you can bring everywhere. It’s always a good idea to rent a big camera for a weekend to give it a try and compare before you make a decision.
@@TinManLee Thank you. I’ll try renting a camera one day.
Good information and nice explanation
Wow. Helps alot
So happy to hear.
Thx man 👍
Supperb.. useful details
Thank you for your insights. You did a great job explaining real world issues regarding taking the best photos utilizing key techniques.
I'm a new photographer, and you have given me a great base to work from.
Thank you for your kind words, Peter! Very glad to hear that. Stay tuned as I plan to post more regularly :)
I look forward to your next videos.
My Best,
Peter
Thank you very much!👍😃
Do you use All servo focus!?
Great tips.
Incredible collections of tips. Thank you Tin Man Lee
My pleasure! Thank you for your support!
Very useful info Tin...thank u. I want to know why u said 400mm as ur fav. I am personally using a 100-500 RF with R6 and I have issues with focus locking, at the same time I find that sneaking up on to the birds with a 500 mm is also not easy. So how to best use a 400mm, yes I also prefer hand held. So after watching I am thinking of swapping my gear with R5, 400mm/2.8 how how to get the best reach? tele? thanks in advance!
