From the porthole of his ship, Douglas takes stunning photos of the giant marine mammals. The scene stunned him for a few seconds. But he immediately took out his camera and took a picture. Thankfully, his shooting angle allows him to see the whales clearer and bigger. This creature makes fishing boats look incredibly small in comparison.
“I went under deck to shoot from a porthole near the waterline. That’s what gives the incredible perspective of watching whales,” he told the news agency.

When a photographer shared a photo of a huge humpback whale swimming on his account. Those images immediately went viral. People can’t stop going “wow” to what Douglas took with his camera. It would be a miracle!
Douglas also had the help of Kate Cummings, a whale watcher who was able to capture video of whales blowing out of the water. “It was fun to shoot this video. Whales have separated from fishermen several times. But sometimes when a whale strands several times They are heading in a specific direction as they are building momentum underwater for the next breach,” Kate revealed to the media.
