Dark skies are an important part of the natural world and are paramount in the success of every night photographer that exists. As such, it was a fabulous honor to discuss an appreciation of dark skies, night photography, and many other subjects with the guest of this week's episode of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen podcast.

This week on the podcast I had the pleasure of speaking with a fellow night photographer hailing from the great State of California, Marsha Kirschbaum.

On this week's episode, we discuss:

• Why Marsha has chosen to specialize in night photography,
• How Marsha got her start in photography,
• How night photography sparks curiosity in the natural world,
• Light pollution's impact on dark skies and nature,
• Safety and night photography,
• Equipment for night photography,
• Digital art and night photography,
• And a lot more!

Other topics/links discussed on the podcast this week:

• Join me over on Nature Photographer's Network.
• Fenix Headlamp.
• Sony A7R4.
• International Dark Sky Association.
• Support the podcast on Patreon.

Here is who Marsha recommended on the podcast this week:

• Jan Maguire.
• Pam Dorner.
• Becky Jaffe.
• Nancy Wright.
• Rick Whitacre.
