I am sharing 9 unconventional tips to take super sharp photos in this video.
My goal is to share strategies on how I take photos that move people even if the condition is challenging "low light, fast action, tough sighting).
I remember not knowing where to start and wishing that there was someone to help me. Now I want to help YOU, whoever you are out there reading this, taking great bird and wildlife photos can make you happy and hopefully change your life for the better. 🚀

Tip 89 : be rich

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Thanks Mr Lee I was going to sell my 500 f4 but after this video I agree with all you said I just needed to hear it again. 🎉

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.

Excellent tips, although many of them are expensive. I really like the one about oversharpening before cropping. I gotta try that one!
-
Wow! Your video blew me away, -am amateur photographer and thank you so much for making such a easy to understand video as I found most videos too technical to understand and love your photos. Looking forward to more videos!

Your prescriptions match my experience. This is a breath of fresh air! I've grown tired of those who try to shame photographers who give priority to shooting wise open.

these are professional tipps and no bla bla , helped a lot, thanks for this

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!

This video popped into my feed as I had never viewed any of your previous work. It was helpful and well presented. I have shared it as well as subscribing. Thank you, Tin Man Lee! Gina in NC, US

Possibly the best wildlife tutorial video have seen. Of course I subscribed. Thank you. BTW, I tested your advice to sharpen the heck out of an image at full size then scale down for social media. great advice.
-
Unconventional tips but makes complete sense. I appreciate you explaining the reason behind them. Can’t wait to try them out. 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!

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.
