Smoke On the Water
There’s nothing quite like the sights and sounds of the Lucas Oil Drag Boat Races held in Lake Havasu. With racers approaching speeds in excess of 250 mph in under four seconds, it takes a keen eye, steady hand, and fast shutter speed to capture all of the frenetic action. The plume of water rising high into the air captures the intensity of the passing racer, creating the illusion of motionlessness of the racer captured in the photo.
Photographed by Ken Gallagher, a 13 year resident of Lake Havasu, using his Canon T31 camera, this photo was taken during the Lucas Oil Drag Boat Races held back in May of this year at Rotary Park.
