My name is Roy Smith and I live in Ayr in the West Coast of Scotland where I have been a member of Ayr Photographic Society since 1983, having been My photographic intersts are extremely varied, so much so that the term 'Jack of all Trades and Master of None' comes to mind. However I do like Landscapes and Abstracts and enjoy working in Themes, both subjective and general. I have a number of these which are ongoing and get a lot of pleasure from this. I also enjoy entering International Salons.I was awarded AFIAP in 2009 with an entry in slides, but so far have not applied for any of the other FIAP Distinctions. I hold a Distnction Award from the Photographic Alliance of Grteat Britain, became an Honerary Member of the Scottish Photographic Federation in 2009 and was given an Honerary CPE Distiction from Campina Camera Club in 2021.
Works Synopsis
My hometown of Ayr is close to Prestwick Airport, and for several years prior to Covid the Scottish Air Show was held here.The highlight for most people, myself included, was the display by the RAF Red Arrows team. This always provided some excellent photo oppertunities, though you had to be very quick as the moved extremely fast. This image is one of a number taken at these displays which have proved to be very succesful for me.
