I wasn’t suggesting that there is anything wrong in running these, or similar events for financial reward. If that’s what it takes, then I’m all for the impetus of cash. As for the event under discussion I do think it very good value, since the £300 fee includes 2 nights full board, by way of comparison our own weekend sojourn to Dorset will cost around half that sum half-board, so no filthy capitalistic profiteering sullying the high ground there.
My disinterest in the subject event remains rooted purely in the digital emphasise, necessary or no. For the record I have been on several residential workshops and enjoyed them immensely, but then they were digital free events. |

Another point about the cost of running any course is that it is not simply about £X for the weekend. One has to pay for talent and skills and the organisers would have put a lot of time in arranging and planning before the weekend as well as being there all of the time over the weekend.

As someone who helps a friend in running one of his week long photographic workshops. I can seriously say that I feel exhausted after a weeks landscape workshop, so much so that I need a holiday to get over it

I recommend a week photographing the landscape.
