A style of photography I have recently started to enjoy, while sitting in the passenger seat, I often see things that appeal to be but am unable to stop, timing can be tricky and frustrating but I've managed to take a few that I was happy with, thought I would share them.
Would love to see everyone else drive by shots as well!
This one was taking at about 60 mph
Correction this one was taken at approx 55-60 mph.
I wonder if you've come across a book by a New York taxi driver called David Bradford with the title "Drive-By Shootings". The difference is he takes photos from behind the wheel without looking through the viewfinder. I've tried it with limited success using my Sony U10. Of course the limitations of the camera don't help. But my Olympus is far too big and slow for this purpose.

That's how all of mine are done. I'll have to look that book up!
I have a Gallery at pBase with more of these. Here's a couple of my favorites from my trip this Summer, driving past the Mount Shasta area on I-5. I don't know exactly how fast we were going; between watching for photo-ops and traffic I had no eyes left for the spedometer.
I was on my way to DIA after a weekend in Denver, trying to get a decent shot. Never did get anything good on the road. Here is the best out of my drive-by's
65mph
I took this one at about 50km/h, one week after I'd been be photographed for speeding on this street (which photograph was of really bad quality and composition). My turn, I then found it funny and interesting to take pictures of nice people in the street...
