from my car window-some ca in background though-canon 20d and canon efs-60mm macro

I really like it. I've actually wanted to start shooting from my car recently. There are so many interesting subjects one sees while driving around, especially on the average daily commute. We only have to keep our eyes open and a boring drive becomes a great photo op.

Good job!

Thanks-I usually drive around with camera strap around the head rest of the passenger seat-for those sudden stops I don't want my camera flying around-the window sill is a good rest and if you want more stability,when using telephoto or slow shutter speed,then I use a small plastic rice bag(250 grams) as my stable platform.

One thing to remember though-driving with a camera can be dangerous, as your use of vision is moving from that of a driver looking for potential collisions,road signs etc to a photographer looking for photo ops-it is very very difficult,if not impossible,to do both well together.

You have been warned!
