Christine Schofield, 72, caught a great white shark jumping out of the water in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand, when shooting a cruise ship that was in the bay.

She was with her husband Arthur, her daughter, Marion Jackson, and son-in-law Roger Kight near Paihia, last week, when they saw the cruise ship Celebrity Solstice leaving the Bay of Islands.

Marion said her mother wanted to take a picture of the ship, but did not notice that she captured unusual image of the shark too.
