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.

[@SuperMacGyver1]

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. 👍❤️

[@michaeljenner1795]

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.

[@keithnisbet]

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.

[@dbv11]

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!

[@TinManLee]

That's so very kind of you. Thank you! It's so much fun, so much thinking for this artistic endeavor indeed.

Excellent tips, although many of them are expensive. I really like the one about oversharpening before cropping. I gotta try that one!

[@TinManLee]

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.

[@brucesummers7448]

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.

[@doodle0007]

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!

[@KoiMadethline]

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!

[@TinManLee]

Photographing dogs is a completely different ball game and you need even higher shutter speed than wildlife. I’ve tried that lol.

[@USGrant21st]

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.

[@RealCptHammonds]

​@USGrant-xq4us I'm trying to shoot my dog too. Even when the pics aren't great, it's still very enjoyable. 😄

[@LCDigital92]

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.

[@TinManLee]

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.
