Once again it is Wednesday. Here's another recent photo by my daughter. This one is from Hanauma Bay on Oahu.

She has a Canon G7 X II and an iPhone 12 which has a pretty amazing camera. I think she took that shot with her iPhone.Damn she's good! What camera system does she use? Don't tell me it was an iPhone

That has no soulI hear that you can photoshop an image and filter it to make it appear to be a watercolor.
I agree, Will. First, he didn't paint in the two boats flanking the mast. That's a great improvement.I have to say, not to take anything away from an amazing photo by one of our own, but the painter actually seems to have managed to add even more drama to your photo, Tom. And, what a compliment.

Your info on the Ascow could still be right, Jon. One historian's opinion is no better than another.i agree that the painting just "does not look real". capturing sailing vessels in paint and looking real is very rare.
fun note: i had heard/told that the Ascow was the oldest continually raced one design race boat class in america, 1901. so now, i guess that's wrong. i'm thinking that we mid-west sailors had not heard of this maine racer.
Not to hyjack the photo thread but I’m curious about what happens if the boat is pushed too hard at this angle? Get to a point where it just stalls and rounds up, turns into a submarine or .....Bow down with a 'bone in her teeth',
I wonder too. That seems like a lot of sail area.Not to hyjack the photo thread but I’m curious about what happens if the boat is pushed too hard at this angle? Get to a point where it just stalls and rounds up, turns into a submarine or .....
Winslow Homer's Breezing Up does a pretty good job and has some similarities to your photo and the painting.I don't think it's easy to capture the real essence of sail power
And then with a gaff rig, they're always throwing on a topsail.I wonder too. That seems like a lot of sail area.
I agree a photoshopped image is not the same as a painting. Why I suggested purchasing the original.That has no soul
