Refined. Shot from the hip (shoulder) @ 75 mph out my passenger window. It is a technique I have worked on for a year or so 🙂

Great shot. Would not know it was from your hip or that you were moving 75mph!
I shudder to think of the techniques involved in getting this shot, but the results are amazing.
🙂 It is all about timing, opportunity, camera settings and a titch of luck.
Last summer, we travelled from SC to MI, and I took pictures out the window at 70 mph the whole way. Most of them turned out really well, I was surprised.
You encounter lots of interesting things along the way to and from places. My one camera has become and extension of my right arm/hand and it goes everywhere with me. Camera settings can easily be adjusted to achieve the look your are going for – stop action or motion blur or even something in between.
“Gotham City” – Great capture!
This is an amazing shot…especially out of the car ‘on the fly’. Add to the grittiness of the scene.
Thanks! There is some grit @ ISO 1600, but it was necessary to keep it somewhat crisp.
I remember the day I cringed when I had to bump-up my ISO past 500 🙂 These days, I can shoot at evening/night and feel pretty good. A little grit works well on some shots…industrial/night and mood shots.
For sure. With a full-frame sensor, ISO 6400 is a breeze with only a titch of grit. A crop sensor, a bit more grit. I agree, it does add a certain artistic element. I would also error on getting the shot with some grit than not getting it at all.
Bingo, that last sentence being the key.
