No offense to anyone, but when I see an image like this I cringe. The "lineup" is the #1 reason I'll never attend any sort of "workshop".
I really think it depends on what you are trying to get out of a workshop.No offense to anyone, but when I see an image like this I cringe. The "lineup" is the #1 reason I'll never attend any sort of "workshop".
Obviously you need to know the value of the workshop to begin with and trust me you will never stop learning. I can line 50 people and they can all walk away with something unique. But also certain spots lend themselves to certain restrictions , 5ft further in front of them they fall off a cliff, I'm not running down there to catch them either.

Well said.I really think it depends on what you are trying to get out of a workshop.
1)your own unique image - go off on your own walk to your own vantage point - the shooter obviously wasn't with the group and there were other shots.
2)instruction - then, there will always be others around - a number of people were new to tech cameras on this trip
3)camaraderie - the chance to on occasion go out and shoot with others in a more social way.
Being fortunate enough to live near some pretty classic locations, I've seen this sort of thing time and time again. You can tell all of the workshops because there are 10 people, all in a line, shooting the same basic composition. Usually this spot is something like Mesa arch in Canyonlands, Dead horse Point SP, Balanced Rock in Arches, Tower of the Virgin in Zion, etc, etc.Obviously you need to know the value of the workshop to begin with and trust me you will never stop learning.

I hope you learn something too Guy?Obviously you need to know the value of the workshop to begin with and trust me you will never stop learning. I can line 50 people and they can all walk away with something unique.
