Hey Daniel,
Sure makes for an interesting landscape.....never seen one that low except at airshows! Light appears to be on the other side.....but I'd image you had no time to reposition! This is just wild from a capture perspective because I don't think many of us have seen this while out in the field!

Hi Daniel, I like how and where you caught the aircraft. Kind of a contradiction of a quiet and peaceful lake with a military aircraft flying overhead. Certain factors like lighting and exact positioning are put on the back burner due to the unplanned nature of the image IMO...

A MOA(military operations area) includes part of the lake I paddle and seeing the aircraft flying by is a treat. I remember when the f-16's would pass by. Always catches you off guard when they sream by. When I hear them coming I try to position my kayak to where I can get a lucky shot and not fall out of the boat.
For security reasons I will keep location private.
As a pilot I always wish that was me and always look up when hearing aircraft fly over.
