    Drive by shooting.


    1/1250th; f5.6; ISO 160; 50mm

    I'm having a bit of a problem with this image, but I don't know if I'm being neurotically picky - would like to see if anybody else has the same problem. Got this going 80mph on a highway, love some of the scenery I get to see on my way into work, but never have the time to stop, set up shop and shoot. So, set to aperture priority.

    Re: Drive by shooting.

    Were you actually driving at 80mph when you took this picture.? if so you need to find a dark room, light a candle and weep.
    As far as the picture is concerned, well there is not a lot here of any interest I feel but I like the colour of the land.

    Well, I've had lots of experience shooting from a driving car on the highway (as a passenger), just made it a bit simpler for me as the driver with this shot, aperture priority f5.6, manual focus to hyperfocal distance.

    It sounds more dangerous than it really is, try this at home kids!

    I use sucker or clamp mounts and remote release for my in-car shots on the racetrack.
    And a voice-operated camera support (Angie) for holiday shots.

    There's a roller coaster silhouette shot in my gallery that was taken doing 60mph down I-95 one morning, looks like I'm gonna have to put the peddle to the metal next time

    As far as the photo, the only thing I'm really not crazy about is the horizon line being so close to dead center. It'd be nice to see a little more of that pond, but all things considered, it's not such a big deal. I do like the look of the trees and the diagonal leading line up the hill, color is good too
