Photographer Eric J. Smith has a knack for putting himself in the right place at the right time. Always with a camera in hand, he’s constantly observing the world to see what might be photo-worthy. In March 2020, he was certainly ready when an opportunity presented itself during a whale-watching expedition in Baja’s San Ignacio Lagoon.
His photo of a mother whale popping her head above water, while the whale-watchers remain blissfully unaware of what’s next to them, has become a viral sensation.
