    Kudos to you both!! The best part of this video and I would argue this video is probably your best because it captured the woes of a photographer struggling with his menus and flash settings.. Made it that much more human. Otherwise you look at a lot of these photo - taking videos and none of the background work or the in-between BTS struggles is shown, and it makes one feel like they are the only one struggling and confidence takes a hit.Being an amateur photography hobbyist, this video speaks to me on a personal level. You had a stunning model at hand, and beautiful backdrops, and you would think that's enough, but no.. even with all these and you both being professional, it still came down to how you had to do composites and some PS work to enhance the images.. The care you took to take your pictures to the next level and bring out your vision of the picture, was a learning experience and is what sets a truly awesome artist apart.

    Guys, I really enjoyed watching your shenanigans. But seriously, I learned a lot by your indirections and struggles to get the winning shot.Your sincere appreciation and acceptance of your differences is exemplary. You guys show off what is great about collaborating while at the same time trying to outdo each other without losing the spirit of camaraderie for the sake of cheap ego affirmations even though you try to mask the whole thing as if it were just another cheap joust between pros. Your humor works as a good backdrop to the serious subject you present in your episodes.Thank you. I grew up in San Juan and immensely enjoyed seeing the old town thru the lens of your wonderful video crew. When I was a teenager one of my favorite things to do after school or on weekends was to take my Kodak-Instamatic for strolls through the old town and its fortresses capturing what to me seemed to be a magical place that made me feel that I was there in some special way, with a window to generations of people who walked those same streets with the cares of the times they lived in. The last 2 or 3 decades has seen the city pop up with color and the restoration of many charming Spanish architectural treasures. I wish Lee and Kelly would do a shoot of the Old San Juan sometime.

    I enjoyed this one so much. Love it when competition can be fun and the loser (which let's face it, really isn't a loser because they are both great) can accept it with such laughter and still maintain self-confidence. If staying within the rules though, which said fashion/editorial'ish...I too would have to go SLR Lounge. If it was journalistic, then Fstoppers with the bird photo for sure.

    It was fun to watch. Pie had more time to think, he was more prepared. I think wedding photographer have always upper hand. But but i love Fstopper for the amazing information for all of us. Well done guys. respect for both Fstopper and SLR Lounge.
