Shark photobombs a shot by leaping into the air behind an unwitting surfer
Surfer Tyler Warren was catching some waves on the Southern California coast when Jordan Anast photographed the photobombing shark behind the surfer.
Kayaker surprised as GoPro shows shark right under him
A kayaker who attached his GoPro camera to a fishing line and dropped it in the water off Adelaide, South Australia, on October 9, couldn’t believe it when the footage revealed that a shark had been keeping him company.
SAN DIEGO, Calif. – On Saturday, photographer Jordan Anast captured images of a shark hurling its body out of the water behind a surfer.
"[I] thought it was a dolphin," said Jordan Anast, who captured the shots at San Ofre Beach. After taking a closer look, he realized it was a shark.
Anast, who generally shoots surf photography on weekends, was spending that particular weekend shooting the annual San Onofre Surf Club contest near San Diego.

His photo series first includes an image of surfer Tyler Warren standing on his surfboard as he rides a wave toward shore. Behind him is a clear blue sky.
In the next image, the sky is partially obscured by a large, photobombing fish – a shark.
The shark, with its body completely out of the water, has its nose pointed to the sky as its shadowy gray body and fins glisten underneath the bright California sun. All the while, Warren seems unaware of the shark leaping into the air behind him.

The photo series continues, showing the shark falling back into the water as Warren draws closer to the shore. According to Anast, the shot was "one in a million, right place, right time."
"I get satisfaction stopping time and creating a moment that lasts forever," he said.
