He took the picture with a Phantom 4 Pro, one of DJI's priciest (but best-looking) drones. Two humpback whales were seen swimming through the water in Carlson's photo, which was taken on a "windy day in Kona, Hawaii."

Mom and the calf via Instagram.com/Anders Carlson One of the most common types of whales, humpbacks, may be found in every ocean on the planet.

Their gestation period is 11 months, and for the first year of their lives, the babies—like the one in this picture—live with their mothers.
