6 - Be part of the process
Taking part in a photography workshop can be a great way to learn and develop your skills, but it is important to make sure you are maximising the process. By being an active participant in the workshop, you can ensure that you are getting the most out of it and making the most of your time.
By understanding how the workflow works and what techniques are being used, you can better prioritise tasks and get more out of each session. Not only will this help improve your photography skills but it can also help to build relationships with other participants. Being part of the process during a photography workshop offers many benefits, so make sure you take full advantage!
Fully participate, do not be afraid to ask questions, seek assistance, or acknowledge that you do not understand something being taught. Take in as much as you can and be willing to share your knowledge. Be open to constructive criticism, this is probably the hardest thing to do at a workshop or in life. Workshops are a safe space; no one is there to knock anyone down a notch. Instead, you may receive some of the best, most qualified, and sincere feedback available. Allow advice to push you in the direction you want to go.

7 - Environment and conservation
Nature photography is a great way to appreciate and enjoy the beauty of the natural world. It is also an important tool for conservation, as it helps to raise awareness about environmental issues. However, it is important to follow some simple principles in order to ensure that nature photography does not have a negative impact on the environment or wildlife. Following these principles will help us to take beautiful photos while still protecting nature and conserving our planet’s precious resources.
Increased visitation and a general lack of care are threatening some of the world’s most beautiful landscapes and treasured natural areas. Help to preserve these places by being active in a coalition of responsible photographers.

Summary
To make the most of a workshop, plan ahead of time and you will maximize your experience. Get plenty of extra rest and sleep in the days leading up to a workshop. Plan your trips to avoid early-morning departures or red-eye flights. Arrive a day ahead of time, especially if there is a significant time difference. When the workshop begins, you should be rested and relaxed, if you arrive exhausted, you may struggle to keep up.
