PS 'Waverley' Approaching Largs Pier

PS 'Waverley' Approaching Largs Pier
PS Waverley is the last seagoing passenger-carrying paddle steamer in the world. Built in 1946, she sailed from Craigendoran on the Firth of Clyde to Arrochar on Loch Long until 1973. Bought by the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society (PSPS), she has been restored to her 1947 appearance and now operates passenger excursions around the British coast. Quoted from Wikipedia.

I love the colours and framing here Joe. Your photos are so beautifully clear. Do you use a tripod? What camera did you use for this, if you don't mind me asking? Cheers, Rosa.

I took this handheld, Rosa, with a Fujifilm X-Pro 1 with a 27mm f/2.8 lens. Thanks for your very kind appraisal. Cheers, Joe

Over the past few years I have taken a dozen or more shots of the Waverley but non of them come even close to this terrific capture Joe,
Like the wonderful light and the beautiful colours.

I have taken many photos of the Waverley, Roger. It passes by very close to where I live. I can walk to the River Clyde in about ten minutes and watch her passing. Cheers, Joe

A great capture. What a beauty she is. I remember going down the Clyde on paddle steamers when I was a wee girl.

She's in not bad shape, considering she was built in 1946. Thanks for your very kind comment, Amelia. Cheers, Joe
