Your best shots from a moving vehicle

March 19th, 2012

Okay, I was on a trip to the inlaws over the weekend, and my husband doesn't like to stop when he is driving just so I can get a photo op. I took two shots from a fast moving vehicle (well I took a lot more, but they were crap) and thought they turned out quite well for not being able to compose anything. What are your best shots from a moving vehicle?

Not quite what you were looking for I guess but the best I have got concerning this subject... lol! ♥

We did slow down a bit, but I was thrilled that this came out all right!

These 3 are from a Glacier National Park trip from a few years ago. We went with a tour company and these are taken through a side window in a 12 passenger van.

This is a shop window display in the Louis Vuitton Store on the Champs Elysees in Paris. The water streaks / droplets you can see are because I took the photo from a bus as we were driving past and the rain was on the bus window.

I was with friends driving on the 405 Freeway on our way to dinner and this crazy tricked out car drove next to us! I grabbed my trusty point and shot and snapped this shot! What a happy accident! You should have seen the driver--full of tattoos and piercings, but I just got the car!

Edited in PSE after, but this was taken along the motorway in France.

I have tons of "drive-by shootings" but will "only" show four here... and in a small size so as not to take up too much space on the thread. :)

I took this one one-handed from the back of the motorcycle with my left hand (translate=useless hand!) while on the freeway at about 65 mph...

Sunset Over My Shoulder... Literally! Over my shoulder on the motorcycle... one-handed... on the freeway at about 65 - 70 mph!


Whenever we head south on the motorcycle we love to take the Spiral Highway into Lewiston. This photo gives you a bit of an idea what it's like... all of the road segments with lines in this pic (best viewed magnified) are part of the road we take. Fun, fun, fun on a motorcycle, but I hate it in a car.


And finally one from the car... It's Still Winter... and, while I am very ready for it to be gone, I have to admit that I have enjoyed getting some beautiful winter scenery shots! I really liked the contrast of the snow and the soil on this shot...

@grizzlysghost Amazing!

I like bridges, but usually there is no place to pull off, so here are two recent ones taken from a moving car:

Holy Moley these shots are amazing - so many of them are better focused than I manage with a sturdy table!
Here's one (which actually my daughter took) on the A1 heading north in November...

Driving past the power station - just taken in a gap between the trees! There was nowhere to stop because of the security.

March 21st, 2012
This is one of my first shots and I used just a point and shoot. I thought it turned out ok.

March 21st, 2012
Have to admit I was driving when I shot this! Usually only shoot from moving vehicles when I am the passenger.

But did a few before it. This one's rather over processed, but I couldn't get the colors of the rainbow to show up without over-doing everything else.

Took this as I was driving down a very steep street in San Francisco. Not an easy thing to do and drive at the same time.
