Photography workshops

[hashcake]

I've been looking into photography workshops run by pro photographers.
I really like the idea of learning via a recognised pro and the benefit of bening able to ask questions would be useful.
Has anyone been on one of these workshops?
There seem to be a few based in London and if anyone can give me some feedback I would really appreciate it.

Hashcake,

I have been on two or three with variable results. One was a landscape photography course with one of my favourite photographers and is a great charming man who can enthuse you regarding photography for hours on end. When it came to practical stuff in the group, because I was more experienced than most I didn't get much input to improving technique.

On another practical day course for environmental portraits, I came away feeling as though I had learned something as wireless flash had been a complete mystery previously.

To summarise, good to be enthused, some pro togs will give lots of tips on a practical level and show you the detail, others prefer to just talk and hope you 'get it'. Not sure that helps you :bonk:
