Opt for a morning flight to have the sun behind you for the best photography of the turquoise water. Sit well forward of the wing to avoid engine heat blur when capturing the intricate reef patterns of the Bahamas. During the final 15 minutes, look for the 'Bermuda Triangle' mystery spots in the deep blue.
