Diamond Rock from the sky. The tiny white spot on the right is an anchored sail boat. The whitish area on the left is a reflection on the aircraft wing (1974)

@Freed - Thanks a lot for this nice comment. However, such a pic does not require any expertise from the photographier. 1) Diamond Rock moves very very slowly 2) I was not the pilot of the aircraft 3) Only thing to do: center the Rock in the prism, adjust diaphragm & speed, and press the button. Only trick: do not use lenses over 150 mm in focal length to shoot aerial pics when one is close to the ground (here, the water!). So I used my old Nikkor 135/2.8, and "Tally Ho".
:-)

@Liesbeth
Thank you for your comment. Le Diamant (Diamond Rock) is uninhabited. Learn more at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_Rock
& especially why this rock was nicknamed "HMS Diamond Rock"
