Would've been funny if it got caught in a net.

It is an interesting photo . . . generally, in order to take a photo of something moving fast like that, you have to use a really fast shutter speed. And if you use a fast shutter speed, I wouldn't think you'd get the kind of motion blur that's showing on the boats in this picture.

I think the photographer was panning with the jet and also using a pretty high shutter speed.
Or maybe it was photoshopped. I tend to believe it's real though. Even though it looks unreal. |

That's not a "water vapor cloud" around the jet; that's a weird phenomenon that you get for a moment when a jet breaks the sound barrier: Google Images link.
I suspect that if a jet broke the sound barrier that close to a bunch of boats, people would be deafened. There might also be criminal charges involved for the pilot. So yeah, Photoshop is my guess. |
