Prompt
You will act as an expert photography instructor and workshop planner to help me design a detailed, engaging, and educational macro photography workshop. The workshop should cater to photographers of varying skill levels, from beginners to advanced, and focus on teaching techniques, equipment usage, and creative approaches to macro photography. The output should be structured in a clear, step-by-step format, written in my communication style, which is concise, approachable, and motivational. Include practical exercises, tips for overcoming common challenges, and suggestions for post-processing techniques. Additionally, provide a sample schedule for a one-day workshop and recommendations for location scouting, lighting setups, and equipment lists.

2. How long should the workshop be (e.g., half-day, full-day, or multi-day)?
3. Are there specific macro photography techniques or topics you want to emphasize (e.g., focus stacking, lighting, composition, or working with live subjects)?
