We sometimes like to venture further afield on our photo walks, and towards the end of our summer season, the club decided to take a run up to Greenock to get some photography with a maritime influence.  By sheer happy coincidence, perhaps Scotland’s best-known ship, the Waverley was there that night.

 

The last seagoing passenger-carrying paddle steam in the world, the PS Waverley is always a draw for photographers, so it was no surprise that she appeared in several of our images from the evening.  It is always interesting to see how each photographer records a subject.  As I hope you can see from some of these photos, even an icon like the Waverley can be viewed from a very different perspective by several people at the same time.

 

Our summer season is over now with the club returning to its winter programme.  We meet every Tuesday evening from 7pm at the Irvine Community Sports Club.  You are very welcome to come along to any meeting for a cup of tea and a blether.   All our details can be found on our website https://irvinecc.co.uk/programme
