Welcome to episode 235 of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen!

This week on the podcast I was joined by Dawn Wilson, a wildlife and nature photographer living in Estes Park, Colorado at the base of Rocky Mountain National Park. Dawn is a fantastic wildlife photographer and the president of the North American Nature Photography Association.

• Raising awareness about wildlife conservation,


• The top ethical issues facing nature photographers,
