Driving and Taking Pictures

Bit of experimentation going on here. Taking photos from inside the car while driving. Now clearly you can't use a camera and drive at the same time so it needs a bit of work.

First set the lens to manual focus and choose a focal distance. Second enter a shutter time and an aperture. The program the camera with the remote release to take a number of pictures at set time intervals with a ten second self timer for the first picture. I then put my tripod in the front passenger seat and fixed it in place, absolute must that it cannot move. Then fix camera to the tripod and take a test shot to ensure it is pointing through the windscreen. Last stage is get ready to drive off and start the self timer before pulling away. Ten seconds into the drive the first picture is taken. Drive around at random and see what happens. I pulled over at one point and changed a couple of settings. This test was done near my house. Having got the hang of it I'll give it a go in the City in a few days time. The buildings are more interesting and lit up so should be interesting.

A clean windscreen helps.
