This image of a speeding wooden boat was created by applying some special effects to a color photograph. The goal was to create an image that resembled a charcoal drawing. Two different artistic filters were blended together with the computer. One filter added most of the shading but lacked the desired detail. The second filter brought back some of the detail but with noticeable loss of the shading. Careful blending of the two allowed the important characteristics to remain.The boat, PALM BEACH DAYS, was built by Mark Mason of New England Boat & Motor. It is a reproduction of a 1923 Ditchburn racer and identical to the Gold Cup champion EL LAGARTO. We photographed her at speed in the St. Clair River near Algonac, Michigan.
