THE PURPOSE OF THE FLT WAS TO TAKE PICTURES OVER LAKE MURRAY. THE PLT STATED THAT AFTER TAKING OFF, HE PROCEEDED OVER THE LAKE, THEN DESCENDED & VARIED HIS ALTITUDE BETWEEN 400 & 800 FT MSL, SO THE PASSENGER COULD TAKE PICTURES. SHORTLY AFTER ROUNDING A BEND IN THE LAKE, THE PLT FELT SOMETHING HIT THE ACFT, BUT HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT WAS. HE CLIMBED TO 1500 FT & PROCEEDED BACK TO THE ARPT WHERE HE LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER DAMAGE. AN INSPECTION OF THE ACFT REVEALED WIRE MARKS ON THE PROPELLER SPINNER & 4 INCHES OF THE VERTICAL STABILIZER & RUDDER WERE CUT OFF. REPORTEDLY, THE ELEVATION OF THE LAKE WAS 360 FT.
