I watched it and thought it was OK, not great but OK. My expectations were a little different though. I could care less about his equipment or the technical data. I can effectuate a shot, and don't need to know the technical data of his shots because it doesn't help me at all. Is knowing the ISO, shutter speed or aperture of one of his shots going to help me find images of my own, not likely. His technical data would only be helpful to me if I wanted to go to the exact same spot and shoot the exact same scene in the exact same way at the exact same time in the exact same conditions, it's useless information IMO.
Something that I took away from it that clearly demonstrated to me why he's as good as he is was his willingness to work the scene to get 'THE' shot. 'Pele's Whisper' is a brilliant shot by the way. Most amateurs would never show that kind of dedication to a set of images. Most would show up, snap a few shots and move on to something different. Peter showed that he had a plan, talked about how he had previsualized the shots that he wanted, and displayed an incredible level of dedication to getting those shots, working the scene hour after hour at different times and from different angles, something lesser photographers rarely consider. He even said when shooting from the chopper, "you're never going know, but you gotta give it a go." Personally, I think that's a great attitude for a photographer to have and perfectly epitomizes the difference between really good photographers and those who simply masquerade as one. If you don't try something different you're never going to get anything unique.
If there was nothing else on I'd watch it again.
