As a wildlife lensman , Doc Jon translate the importance of being in the correct home at the good time . But it took getting home and really squinting at his own work to recognize that he recently captured a “ one - in - a - trillion shot ” while take a picture of an sea eagle in Madeira Beach , Florida . While certify the great power of his crystalline lens to a fellow beach - leaver , Jon signal his photographic camera at an osprey flying about 400 feet above their heads , and snapped a quick photo .
“ I started shooting and my preferences were off , ” JontoldFstoppers . “ I had no tripod . I was trying to contain it unbendable , but it was windy out , " he say . " I could see the osprey had a fish , but it was far away . It was n’t until I got home , cropped in on it , lightened the darkness , and applied some sharpening that I suddenly saw . ‘ Oh my god , that ’s a shark ’s tail . ’ Then I saw the fish in its mouth and I knew it was become to go viral . ”
Jon predicted correctly .
Jon ’s photo , which has already been divvy up by thousands of people , features the osprey holding a shark , which is contain a fish — making it sort of like the photographic version of a turducken . News of Jon ’s amazing photo spread after he post it to his Facebook Sir Frederick Handley Page and a local word post saw it . Since then , he order Fstoppers , he ’s been receiving request for audience from as far off as Israel and India .
Of naturally , with all that exposure come the inevitable query of authenticity . luckily , Jon is taking that part in pace .
" The fun part for me is some masses are comment that it ’s Photoshopped , and obviously , those mass do n’t jazz the limitations of Photoshop , " Jon told Fstoppers . " Then , other citizenry are telling me I should have sell it or else of share it online . I ’m laugh , because really , it ’s not a good photo . The photo itself kind of sucking . But it tells a big narration and it ’s getting me a lot of realisation for my other work now . "
