Have someone else drive and you take your best photo shooting thru the rolled up window with the vehicle traveling at least 55mph.

Interesting idea. However, it would be more interesting if the photographer was driving -- some interesting moment-of-impact photos :P

Taken on a rainy night as I'm driving home from work. Drive-by shootings are fun for the unpredictability.

Why 55 mph? That restricts you to major highways, pretty much, or requires you to break the speed laws. This one was at about 40 mph...

Car speed is not nearly as important as shutter speed. I had to drive up and down this side road several times to get something where my arm wasn't blured and even so this image isn't all that good. Be an interesting challenge but I don't think driving speed should be a requirement.

Unless your shot includes the car's spedometer there would be no way to enforce any such rule. For that matter, unless the shot inlcludes at least part of a window frame there would be no way to *prove* it was shot from a moving vehicle at all.

I take lots of pictures from moving vehicles, including my first-ever submission here ...

true you can't prove the speed or that it was taken out the window -we would just have to take folks at their word-
and the speed wouldn't have to be 55....that was just a suggestion

Good idea! I like it.

This picture was taken out of a heavily tinted backwindow, going 60 miles an hour
