[QUOTE="TonyB, post: 5050, member: 391"] Yes, perhaps a bit of clarity is needed. I am using the term 'workshops' in a generic way. Some are classroom based where the theory and practice of a photographic genre (say, macro) is presented as a taught lesson. However, the most profitable are those that are location based. Another member has posted re an Iceland-based workshop (or photo-tour if you wish). In this case, as in numerous others, the 'professional' has done all the research, collaborated (perhaps) with local guides, visited the locations at their own cost to do a 'recce' and then offered the tour to photographers via normal advertising channels. So what do you get for your several thousand $$$'s or £££'s? You are taken to the photogenic locations, instead of doing your own research and hopefully finding them yourself. You avoid the hassle of hiring a car. Accommodation will usually be included. Advice will be on-hand for preferred equipment, as will some tuition re camera settings in the field. If the weather is adverse, your professional should be able to adjust the itinerary accordingly because he/she knows the locations. Importantly , especially for 'singles', is the group experience; you are sharing your hobby with like-minded photographers. Is it worth it? Only you can judge. [/QUOTE]
