This image of two antique, wooden speedboats was an experiment with the "painting with light" technique. Each boat was photographed separately at night in a dark boathouse and composited later to make one image. The camera was mounted on a tripod and the shutter held open for 30 seconds. During the exposure I "painted" light onto the decks with a handheld flashlight. Some light spilled onto the docks so I had to darken those parts in the post-production work. The boats were floating and this allowed for some slight movement during the 30 seconds. From the many exposures that were made I was able to select a couple that had no perceptible movement. 24mm lens at f/8 for all. ISO was 200 for some and 320 for others.
The boat on the left is a 1936 Gar Wood triple-cockpit runabout and the other boat is a 1930 HackerCraft triple-cockpit runabout.
