I've taken numerous workshops from three noted professional outdoor photogs
and they all were well worth the time and money invested in my opinion. All
were 5 days in length in which I was able to totally immerse myself in
photography. A few were aimed at the amateur but most were open to those
with more field experience. They were valuable for me in that they provided
a learning experience, critiquing of my images and the opportunity to
photograph in places/situations that the pro had selected and reccommended.
In 5 days of that kind of photography I generally wound up with 15 to 25
images of a quality worthy of keeping and sharing with others.
The key to these experiences for me was the reputation of the pros as
teachers and their images.

Hi Kenneth, glad you took a useful Photo Workshop. Most of them are
just gimmicks to make a fast buck from Beginners - a lot who are happy
with useless basics. things that can be learnt from any (40) year old
book o photography - yes Sir, look up Focal Press.
Very few offer Workshops for the Advanced Amateur Photographer. say a
person who has been using DSLRs for (4 to 6) years.
Understanding and using Value / Quality of Light is the prime aspect
of all genre of Photography. And my hats off to you for having grasped
it.
As a Teacher - I take Free Workshops and Photo Walks - the biggest
challenge is Composition and White Balance in changing or mixed
Lighting situations.
You should get minimum five (5) takeaways from a good workshop. I hope
you can share some more takeaways.
With Artificial Intelligence built into most DSLRs today one need not
worry too much about under or over exposure. I use a camera whose
dark and dingy RAW file can be corrected into peppy photos using LR CC
in under a minute.
Over exposure too can be corrected though to a limited extent say by
(5 to 6) EVs.
Have fun with your photography.
