Sunrise From A Moving Car

Okay, it is probably worse than texting while driving and the photography books frown upon it. Sometimes though it is the only way you are going to get a shot. Now addressing the photography books first, they say you are suppose spend countless hours prepping for a shot. Which is super if you have the time. Sometimes though you are confronted with something so beautiful that you just have to give it a try. Now the safety aspect, you should not try it unless you know you are not going to cause an accident. Also you should always be prepared for the depth of field changes that come from looking into a camera. Ideally you should be travelling at low speed when attempting such folly, or better yet, being the passenger, or even better yet find a safe place to stop your car and setup a shot like a professional would. Boring trip hint, shooting from a moving car while being the passenger can be very fun and good shots can be had, if you setup the shot so you can crop the foreground. Tonight's photo, not the best one ever taken I would admit, is one of those moments when you see something so beautiful you must try to capture it. This was taken from highway 203, north of Duvall looking across Cherry Valley.
