Madison picture

Revealing mistake: On the morning of the hydroplane race at Madison, Indiana, there's a shot of the Sun rising from behind the horizon. But- the Sun is seen moving toward the upper left. Madison is in the northern hemisphere, so the rising Sun ought to move just the opposite, to the upper right. Undoubtedly it was easier to photograph a sunset and run the film backwards.
