Tin Man Lee - Wildlife Photographer
США
Добавлен 18 окт 2011
Welcome to my RUclips Channel. 5 years ago, I quit my 9-5 corporate job as a bioengineer to pursue my passion in wildlife photography. I hope to take photos that move people so that people care about wild animals. Now I travel the world and teach people photography. I'm honored to have my photos winning Nature's Best Photography and displayed in the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington DC. Recently I'm invited as contest judge for Bird Photographer Of The Year and Nature Photographer Of The Year. In this channel, I share my life as a full time photographer, with gear review, techniques and tutorials.

Hi, love your videos and I’m learning a lot! Thank you! Do you have any preference between an f2.8 70-200 vs the much light f4 version ? Thanks! 😊
Always 2.8 because you get an extra stop of light into your camera which is beneficial in low light situation.
Good on ya Tin Man! Ad hats off to Margo for great work.

Excellent.. Thank You
could you share the settings of the last 2 photos (B&W lions), thank you
Sir I like to enter the bird photography. Currently using Sony APSC with 17- 70 mm Tamron for my travel phography. Nikon Z8 with 400 mm 4.5 lens will be ok for my travel & bird phography? Always looking for yours sugesstions before any investment in this world.
Great information.
A purist who still sees the craft as art & insists on treating it that way is so rare now. Major props sir.
Great info. Thank u
and now an $800 junker runs Topaz, PS and LR just fine. Man things have moved forward.
Thanks!
Brilliant!
Nicely done Tin Man - great story with amazing shots. Well done.
Thanks!
Awwww thank you so much Nancy!
nothing speaks louder than experience, thankyou for sharing and helping me to make up my mind.
Soo happy you mentioned “lying to yourself” i am more in portraits but never like it when things are staged. It must be real. Thanks !
100% Manual mode is the best once you get a hang of it! 🎉
He look cold as fuck when he looked up😎
🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎
I know the feeling - not on the same scale but I get it. Awesome video.
Hello Tinman, I so appreciate this advice, however I am a bit conflicted about the editing part. When you take an image in RAW, it is the photographers responsibility to bring it back to life as seen thru the viewfinder, I’m not sure why the photographer would be penalized for this. Also I do agree that full frame wildlife images can be incredibly, but sometimes as a wildlife photographer you are being ethical by keeping your distance from certain dens, nests, etc and would need to crop to enhance the viewers experience 😊 I so enjoy your tutorials, thank you 🙏🏼
love your ethics regarding photographing animals
Great info many thanks for sharing your knowledge,so happy to learn about sharpening
You won me over with the chart on the extra minutes a faster lens affords you. 👏 Now to find some money…
very nice explanation of the artistic elements making it into photography and conveying the message. Haven't seen anyone speak so nicely about it. on the other hand I could as well summarize the conclusions here as: 1) buy a lens worth a car 2) move to africa or travel the whole world 3) develop your artistic vision once the gear and subjects are on point. otherwise it's a waste of opportunities, time and self-realization in photography. if you use a .. f5.6 zoom or some other crap like that.
So the judges are looking for portraits of animals, not stories of animals in their native habitats.
Pretend like you are a reptile!1
Canon
How much editing are you allowed on photo submissions?
This is a great story. Thnx. Question. While in manual mode, the EV on my Canon mirrorless doesn't do a thing no matter what is set to. Is this normal?
Thank you. While in manual, when you want to make the image brighter, you can reduce the shutter speed, reduce the f-stop or increase the iso. When in the other modes, the camera changes some of those settings for you so you lose a bit of control.
critique is a photographers best learning 😀
If the subjects (animalsin your case) are in the tall grasses, how low can you get? In your lion photo, how far were you from the subject?
What photographer RUclipsrs never talk about is the amount of money they spend traveling around to get those photos; the hardware is nothing compared to traveling expenses. Photography, or any other serious hobby, is expensive.
I don't understand shenbayn
Will the 500mm Pf version match the sharpness of the AF-S 600mm f/4 D II ED IF ? Very good information for the beginning nature photographer. Greetings.
I guess the challenge is low ISO, and high shutter speed in a low light condition.
Hi Tin Man, thanks for your insights. I'm more of a landscape photographer, but I am slowly getting more and more into wildlife photography. Your channel has provided me with a wealth of information and help when choosing a specific lens for wildlife photography.. I have a 100-400 Canon that is adequate for bright day shots. I have been looking to see if I can get hold of a 600 F/4 Canon rather than buy a zoom lens. I agree it's an infinitely more superior lens for low light shooting and sharpness, but at quite a cost. My biggest concern with buying a used version 1 Canon lenses is the risk of the lens motor and IS not working. You are left with a door stop as Canon will no longer service these lenses or provide parts. I am looking at a used version II which I think is a better lens and gives me the peace of mind of knowing it can be fixed if something goes wrong. I am tempted to get a 400 F2.8, but I do hear that it doesn't handle teleconverters as well as the 600 F/4. The wildlife experiences I've had in Canada tend to favour a longer lens. Who wants to get that close to a cougar and bear anyway! Thanks Tin Man, I love your channel.
Wonderful video! Excellent work. All the best, Tin Man.
Great presentation!
Great webinar! Useful for photographers of all levels. I especially liked your 4 levels of mastery: Implementation, Unification, Communication (Language of Emotion), Imagination (Essence of Human Nature). I love your explanations at 51:25 showing how human nature and visual perception can be used and was used in the Mona Lisa painting. Wonderful! Inspiring! THANK YOU. Dave V.
Excellent! A magical bear moment that lasted 2/10 second! A 12-bit RGB raw value would range 0-4,095 pixel values while a jpg file at 8 bits would have 0-255 RGB pixel value range. From this video, as a newbie I learned the key to editing is to improve the photo to lead the eyes of the viewer to the hook.
Excellent! As a newbie this video taught me to that Rembrant was a master of light and with wildlife photography light and shadow is critical. Location is important for high likelihood of many opportunities....go back to the same prime location again and again. Cheating such as feeding animals, zoo photos, game farms, and luring birds with phone calls is bad and can ultimately ruin a photographer's reputation. Honesty in photography is key. Learning from online forums can be risky with incorrect information. I loved your Cosco piano analogy and language of photography! Inspiring! THANK YOU.
Thank you for your support. You’ve been watching a few of my videos lately :)
@@TinManLee Yes. Thank You! Dave V.
Excellent! As a newbie I learned from this video to think art, engaging positive emotion, negative, noisy emotion and how to stand out among thousands of photos. I love your analogies: blown out highlights is like a fish dish that is burnt out, 90% of the photos have what it takes, just like sushi that is decent but what makes both special is a subtle difference. Wait for that magic moment when the foreground/background is clear and not annoying features like branches. I love your idea about the interior and exterior aspects of the photo: interior is the subject, from a smaller scale looking at the "exteriors" details independent of the animal such as where are high contrast patch, warm areas, the bright areas, what "external forces" leads the viewer towards the key "hook". I enjoy your suggestions and your obvious passion for wildlife. THANK YOU!
Excellent constructive criticism! As a newbie, I learned about saturated white areas, saturated dark areas, bright/white patches in the background (hot/cold) distractions, both eyes are important. I also learned that adding features via image processing is a no-no and the original raw file is required for submissions. THANK YOU!
Great tips! I love your stories that explain each key point!
WOW! I love your noise-cancelling headphones analogy. THANK YOU.
You should have 10 cameras set up with different settings on each one, then you won't keep missing the shots! I'm a beginner and I typically get the shot. Lol
Excellent thinking, literally a creative approach. It fills me with happiness to consider this.
