This photograph was taken during an aerial show by the Chilean Air Force’s aerobatic team in La Serena (Halcones). The sun sat directly behind them, transforming the smoke into a glowing path and projecting the silhouettes of the planes forward.

What made this moment special was its precision and timing, everything aligned for just a few seconds. The formation, the light, and the geometry of the movement came together.

Captured with a Canon R6 and a 70–200mm f/4 lens.
