Captain Dave Anderson caught beautiful aerial views of dolphins and whales with a quadcopter drone camera. First you’ll see a thousands of dolphins moving across the ocean’s surface together off Dana Point, California. Then there are three gray whales near San Clemente, California. Finally, we get to see a humpback whale mother with her newborn calf, filmed off the coast of Maui, Hawaii.
Anderson, of Capt. Dave's Dolphin and Whale Safari, is a 20-year veteran of the whale watching business, and cautions others not to try this without ocean experience and unless you know the laws regarding interaction with sea creatures. He posted the story of how he got this footage at the YouTube page. -via Digg

Really makes you realize the absurdity of keeping these sorts of creatures (cetaceans) captive in tanks for public display.
