Shielding Troon Harbour from the southwest and located a half-mile west of the centre of the town, the Ballast Bank was built from 1840 by the Duke of Portland to protect his new harbour. The harbour was exposed to gales and these had damaged several ships while trying to enter. The bank got its name because the ballast from cargo ships was used in its construction, together with material excavated during the building of the harbour.
Your challenge this evening is to shoot the following 3 themes, while taking several photographs during the evening:

1)Harbour/Boats 

2) Seabirds

 3)Shore Detail  (focus on details on the beach/rocks)

It’s ok to go back to Troon if you want to improve on what you got on the night, or if you cant make it along on the evening

Over the following week we would like you to process and edit your images and select what you think are the best three photographs – one for each of the themes above.

Please upload your chosen three to the Challenge Competition on the club website by midnight on Monday 24th here https://irvinecc.co.uk/competitions-members This is just a way of collating some of your images and you will be able to get valuable feedback, tips and advice on them.

We will review the images at the next review evening on the 2nd of May
