High Speed Wooden Boats

These two antique, wooden speedboats were photographed on the St. Clair Flats as they raced side by side.  This photo shoot had been thoroughly planned for days and the weather was supposed to be mostly sunny.  Not surprisingly, the forecast was not accurate and we were faced with heavy overcast.  On one of the speed runs, however, the sun poked out and gave us gorgeous light.  This photograph is not enhanced.  The water and sky are dark and nearly the same color.  The sunlight on the boats and the spray makes them jump out from the dark foreground/background.  The sun disappeared again right after this run.
Both boats are triple-cockpit runabouts; the far boat is a 28' Gar Wood and the near boat is a 30' HackerCraft.
