Episode description
Fotography Friday has come around again, and joining Grant and Ewen Bell this time is Conservation, Science & Nature media creator, Nicolas Rakotopare, who is based in the northern Australian state of Queensland. His work focuses on documenting science and nature, bringing stories of science, conservation and nature to a general audience through all the channels available today.

- Canon EOS 1DX2
- CANON EF 24-70 F/4
- CANON 16-35 F/4
