    Everyone can learn a lesson from this story. At some point in their career, every photographer will be put into a situation that makes them feel uncomfortable, disrespected, degraded, and so on.
    But today, I want to share a story with you, which was initially shared on Reddit and then made its rounds in mainstream news.

    Dave Wilson

    Dave Wilson, who hails from Scotland but has now lived in Texas longer than the UK (despite what you may think from his accent), has been an avid photographer since his early teens. While he’ll point a camera at just about anything, his favorite subjects are landscapes, architecture, rodeo, and sport although portraiture is beginning to play a larger role in his photographic life these days. He writes software for a living but enjoys occasional photography commissions, shooting for the local newspapers, and licensing stock images to magazines. He is lucky enough to be credentialed photographer at Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin where he takes pictures of the University of Texas Longhorn Band while football goes on in the background.
    In this episode, Dave shares the story and inspiration behind a stunning HDR Panorama of the Taipei Skyline.
