Orlando Sentinel photographer Jacob Langston was out in the waters of New Smyrna Beach, Florida, making a video of a surfer when another surfer exclaimed, “Dude! Did you see that?!”
Langston’s focus was on his subject in the foreground of his camera — so he didn’t initially see the four-foot spinner shark jumping over another surfer in the water.
It wasn’t until he got back in the office and was editing his video that he realized he had captured the awesome moment in the background.
