This stunning and mesmerizing footage shows the moment two magnificent whales take an interest in tiny paddleboarder David Price in Esperance, Australia:
Jaimen Hudson, who was controlling the DIJ Phantom 3 drone, said of the encounter: “It just so happened that he was out at the time, and a few people let me know there were whales on the beach and it all just went from there.”
“They were really curious and came over to meet [Dave]… Just very inquisitive about him, I don’t think it was really that dangerous at all.”
Hudson became quadriplegic after a motorbike accident, but the filmmaker flies his drone with his thumbs and shoulder movements.
