give me your best tips for shooting from a car

[jann1033]

since i now know i can shoot from a moving train/car/boat/parachute etc etc etc and hub won't have to listen to my "stop i want to take that" yells anymore can you give me some tips on how to do this?( photos I mean,I've got the yelling down pat) any shutter speed over about 200 would be ok? do i have to do math? (ie the inverse of the speed of the car over the wind velocity subtracted from the humidity x pi?) any pointers will be helpful as this has opened a whole new realm of possibilities i just never thought of...thinking is should be off?
thanks

as you all shake your heads in disbelief thinking "this chick is dumb as a post"

roll window down. even with a high shutter speed, either use a small aperture (and high iso) or ai servo with a faster aperture (i prefer the latter). i find it best to pan with what you're shooting - to keep focus right and to make sure your composition is what you're expecting.

Yes, you have to do the math! Humidity doesn't matter, however, air density does as it slows the speed of light.

DW takes pictures from the car all the time and some of them actually look ok. Try not to get much foreground (unless you like the look it gives of speeding along) and don't let the camera touch any part of the car, lots of vibration.

Have DH announce any upcoming bumps, potholes, and trees/poles/etc so as to make him feel useful (learned through experience).
