I’d say Chris’s photos have a better element of story and detail. Where Ben’s shots are cool to look at but there isn’t much more than that. The prize goes to Chris for creativity 🎉

Exactly! If I would hang up one of these pics on my wall, I think I'd prefer the tele lenses, with closer angles and isolating shots. But the wide angle ones contains more to it, as in a story

Exactly 🙏

The shots from the top of the boat are just fantastic!!! Also, this just made me add Greenland to my list of places I want to see!

Ben is super talented at shooting with that 200-600mm loved those shots! Your wides turned out super good really feels like I'm there as well! 4:55 Glacier, iceberg and boat look amazing!

Both results are spectacular. I prefer the wide angle just because it tells more story. Adds more personal character and perspective. But the isolating shots are also amazing. The level of detail and sharpness on these lenses is also something insane. Great video. Keep it up!

4:53 was the best of the bunch.. But they're all beautiful.

Definitely 06:48, the composition, color, everything just came together Chris! Btw, would love to see another video breaking down how you edited all the photos that appeared in this video!

I love people who put a separate chapter for the sponsor part.

Both lens approaches are great. I was waiting for Chris to figure out the strength of his lens was going to be combining the gorgeous texture, lines and details of the boat with the spectacular environment. Glad you got there! :) I suppose that was a clever way to keep me in the video. Another lesson here...don't sit on your hands waiting to shoot what you THINK is going to be the shot....

1:45 1 majestic contrastingly brown mt standing in between and layer of fog in between across the frame 3:03 the side mountains create a leading line towards the epic centered one , great composition and fog adds depth 4:53 i love the contrats of that blue with faded fog up above and layers of some roundish mountain rock in the left 5:55 gives a sense of that window side perspective whilst appreciating the grand biggie mountain 7:46 better than benjamins tele 7:53 lovee it just a di-color brown and fog , and peak not bang in the centre

Beginning of video, Ben won; especially if there would be wildlife. 5:16 Ben won. 7:07, Ben DEFINITELY won. But those were Chris things more than lens things. 😂 2:16 is one of my favorites. 5:04 is very nice. Ultimately, Ben’s are more art gallery/hanging on the wall while yours tell a story on social media, and the vlog camera and drone kinda got more than both of ya. ;0) The one’s from the crow’s nest are some of the best, but I don’t think that is eligible since he didn’t get up there too.

I appreciate Ben's disposition towards his craft. Respect

This was actually a nice combination of the two lenses. Would love to see you two switch. Super fun to see the pieces that came out. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿. Beautiful video. Also that thumbnail was funny 😂

That zoom is always going to be fun and novel because it's so different from what our eyes show us all the time.

5:03 I love the boat and the context like you were saying. This isn't just a rock or a iceberg but an experience! Great Shot!

Love all the different styles and techniques but i gotta say the shot at 2:14 was my favorite because of the detail and simplicity at the same time

1:38 Best photo. Love the layering of the rock mountains fading on the mist. For me, Ben is a goal to arrive as a photographer, I hope to get at this profesional level 😅

it hurts me say it, but you killed it Chris

The most beautiful shots I’ve seen in so long. Unbelievable.

I will never vote against wide... but I have to say,Ben is a master in creating those isolated shots that always have a subject..

This video is amazing! Definitely need to do a trip like this soon! You and Ben both took great shots but I have to say my two favorites are the at 8:38 and 8:40! The winner is for sure you Chris!

This is sooo goood more of this mate!!

Both are very good but different. Those Telephoto's are just beautiful to look at while the wides tell a story which is what I would prefer. I'd honestly print a few of each. Awesome shots

Loved this! You both killed it. The image @2:15 might be my favorite, but @5:11 is right there!

Chris 5:56 - showing that boat in the foreground was brilliant IMO

Wide angle is sick! The zoom is awesome for those penguin shots, but I do love wide-angles to give more context to the shot. I loved the shots with the boats in them

My favorites are 1:37 5:03 and 9:20 but 9:20 wins because of how much story and context it is giving, paired with great composition! 8:53 is also a sick shot!

I’m stoked you made a video with Ben! I personally love a wide lens but the way Ben composes is absolutely brilliant

@@jayymorris5285 I used to have a canon 70-200 2.8 back in the day and loved it! I’m now trying to get into a bit of wildlife photography and so I needed more than 180/200. If I didn’t, then I would have gone with that one I’m fairly sure - seems amazing value

Chris your photos have a more story telling point of view, looking at your photos feel like I was on the boat too. Ben's photos are more artistic, focus on the subject, no confusing elements, cleaner and better separation between the subject and the background, but I mean that's the value behind every compressed shots! Both go you guys nailed it and this video just proved it, why I always travel with 2 lenses only. The 16-35 2.8 G master and a 70-180 2.8 Tamron, because that's all you need and a drone. The 24-70 is such a boring lens, I don't even use it for traveling anymore.

8:40 is the bomb. Great video Greenland looks amazing.

My favourite one of Chris is 4:53 & my favourite one from Ben is 1:42 , now I need both these lenses too!

Dudes, this is the best. What a great way to capture the strengths of these lenses simply.

Chris, of course.

Both shots were excellent but I really like wide angle photos with the ship.. bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Chris.. Epic!!!

Both of you guys are freaking amazing at what you do!!!

So what I got from this video is that I actually need a 16 mm to 600 mm lens lol

You both had amazing photos but Im going to give it to Chris! The photo at 8:39 solidified it for me. But definitely following Ben now! Great video guys!

At first i was going for the zoom but the wide is the winner by far!

For my part I prefer the story behind a wide angle lens. I think it's more challenging too. Having a telephoto lens is like having "cheat codes", 😅almost every shots looks cool but with a wide lens, you have to be really careful with your composition, but when you get THE shot, it's always a banger! Anyway you did both great pictures, but my vote is for you Chris on this one ;) (Love the shots on top of the boat 🤩)

I shoot tight and use my 600GM 90% of the time however for this series I think the wide wins. Including the boat makes for a very dramatic image.

2:13 are a 5+ and 9:15 are 5+. Combined It's a story and Inspiration.... Intresting for me is that I take the best shoots under some pressure when I'm slightly cold, It sharpens my senses as I have to get the shot. Climbe the mast in a T-Shirt next time and see what happens ,)

9:29 is the one of the best shots, it looks crazy high up there 🔥

Waiting... Waiting.... Waiting..... lol... The Picture at 5:10 is my Favorite.

5:05 when you incorporate the boat. As a real estate photographer/videographer I’m a sucker for wides so I’d say you win!

why do you ask us to choose one of you?...all these photos are mind-blowing!! I love landscape photos and I think that both of the lenses have something that could take a banger photo! I like Ben photos idea to isolate something to take the right subject focus...and I like yours because they are more immersive in the story and in the scene...but this is a battle so only one can win, so here my choice: 4:55 photo of you Chris!! you are my winner!! 🏆

I was skeptical of the wide angle at first…. But those were some great shots.

That 600mm focal length is out of this world man 🔥 If only i could afford it 🌛

I would say Chris won. Everything both share are amazing, but the shot by Chris at 8:36 is one of my favorites due everything he talked about, but mostly incorporating the boat and the colors, but the shot at 9:15 from the crow's nest is amazing.

Lovely colors!

Whoever sells most affordable prints of these wins in my book 🥺

I'm super stoked on your photos Chris! The boat shots were so freakin awesome!

Truly amazing photos.

The last shots on the top made it for me, congrats Chris 👊🏻

You created some of the most interesting shots that tell A STORY! And that us why you photo-work is better! I’m not interested to see the collection of zoomed in textures. It doesn't “speak to me” Yet your photos show the context! It is not easy (actually very challenging) to be creative with wide angle lens. Most people make a mistake thinking it is a landscape lens that “includes everything in a shot”. Nothing further than truth. If ones “includes everything, he gets a mess. You demonstrated a mastery of a wide angle by finding a new compositions that are captivating. Your shots from a mast are “da bomb”. Congratulations!

W i d e for the win!

0:22 I thought that door was full size so when Chris’ head came to the window looking HUGE I died lmfao 🤣

I’m living for the wide shots, Chris! What an experience!

The all photos its amazing, but my favorit Chris last photo... 🙌🏼 GG good content!

It's like i'm babbling and lost for words at the same time! Which i am! And i can't stop! For a little more coherence, is there a video on how you developed these pictures? I love the contrast you managed to create and i would love to learn me some of that too, which in essence means, you guys inspired me. Thank you.

For me (one who is no fan of ice snow or cold) the one I liked most was 9:15. Love the boat giving a very pirate feel, the water looks amazing, yeah that's the one I would wall mount.

I like Ben's shot at 2:13 and Chris' shot at 8:36. Both are epic...it's a tie.

I'm with you on the wide lens...typically my favorite/goto lens....I like 8:37 the best out of the iceberg shots, but I also like 9:28 for a point of view shot from the crows nest!

Yeah...I don't think either won because they were both pretty fantastic. You just need to have one of each lens that's all.

I loved all of them together, the combination of shots made for the perfect story. I would love to see a challenge of you both trying to shoot with the opposite perspective on a future trip!

Thanks! I had so much fun shooting.

Bens shot at 2:15 is money. But I’m biased. I struggle so much using wide angle personally, so I lean towards the telephoto side. Your wides look great though! Definitely makes me want to push myself to use more wide angle shots.

9:16 was a cool wide shot

ah! This was fun to watch and I absolutely loved the photos. Both of you won! :D

That's actually a great challenge because you both look like twins 😉

I think the long lens is more wallpaper ready, the smaller is more context and stuff you would share with friends and family, photo books maybe

Dang I really liked the modality, and probably one of my favorite photography related videos, good job man

i love telephoto but in this one, the wide angle did some pretty sick job

Telephoto for the win

4:55 this shot right there looks like a Giant Reindeer. #👌🏼

Can't go past 2:15 Ben for the win, very tight contest though

Allez hop ! du soutien de France ! 😉 This video really took my mind off things... Breathtaking landscapes and amazing pictures ! Keep on making such nice YT videos Chris ! I'm rubbish at taking "good" pictures, but I've learnt a lot thanks to you, so thank you ! 🙂
