Jumping the shark...



Okay, not really jumping the shark but a pretty neat shot none the less. This was taken at New Smyrna Beach, Florida in a sequence of three. The jumping behavior is not all that rare for sharks, but catching it on film like this is.

There's more shots on the photographer, Kem Mcnair's website along with some videos retelling the story.

I thought it was probably photoshopped until I watched the news interview of it. Damn, it makes you wonder how many times you have been to the beach with a shark just beneath the water...

"Oh, well, if it’s on the News, it must be true!"

Obviously not, but his story checked out: There was a witness, supposedly they are common there, and he didn't look like the type of guy to photoshop something like that.

But who knows. All I'm saying is you can't just automatically assume an amazing photograph had to have been faked.

Yes I can, Justin. I can automatically assume whatever I want, thank you very much.

"he didn’t look like the type of guy to photoshop something like that."

What does the typical photoshopper look like?

I'm not saying the picture is shopped; I was just hinting at the fact that so many urban legends and fake items hit the news all the time.
