Photos from moving car
Discussion
I just setup my tripod in the back seats and wedged it in as solidly as I could (it works best on smooth roads, hence the trips up and down the A14!).
As for shutter release I just used the self timer, pressed the button and moved out of the way and waited for the picture to be taken. You could use a remote shutter release or cable release (probably much safer than using the self timer).
It looks best when you have trucks or cars in your view as they blur nicely or lights at night work pretty well.
It is a bit of trial and error but good fun.
Oh... make sure to clean your windscreen first!!

I'm an old fart and I never listen to Radio 2 - far too racey for me.
Matt W and I did some car to car stuff which worked quite well
He was driving my Landy with a rig and a remote, I was in the Aston - both at about 2 mph. I then did the daft PS thing (which I quite like, but doubt anyone else will)

Mostly radio 5 for me....Matt W and I did some car to car stuff which worked quite well

Like the photo, as my eye moves around it, it seems to move and jump out!!
Not sure if that's just because of the road surface or in addition to the PS "thing".. [quote=GetCarter]

Excellent
I shall have to have a go at the in car pics, they look quite dramatic.
As for radio 2, I'm 20 and I listen to it, they actualy play a variety of music rather the same crappy short playlists on radio 1 or the local stations. If I hear duffy one more time I'm going to slit my wrists!

I've had some success with moving car shots in the past:
camera mounted on a b-hague camera mount through the tunnel under manchester airport:
and one outside the car, camera mounted on the roof:
and taken on the mountain road on the IOM in 2006, leaning out of a another scooby:
Both great fun to do. I also did this one on my old scooby, also using the b-hague mount and about 5 mph:
