Can you do landscape photography from a moving vehicle?
Landscape photography at 70 mph. Is it even possible? For years the idea of landscape photography was to put your camera on a tripod, frame very carefully, then wait for the light to be perfect before you shot. But what if you had to do everything in exactly the opposite way?
My camera was at my feet – it always is when I’m on the road – so I picked it up and started looking. The first thing I saw was that the long end of the lens was going to be my workhorse so I racked it out to 70mm and started fishing.Now let’s take a minute here to talk about how impossible this would have been a few years ago, and let’s begin with the limitations of film. The fastest color stock then was ASA 400, and even now it doesn’t get much faster than Portra 800.
And that leads to the last thing, I’ve never been so happy that my camera had a 45-megapixel sensor because I knew I would be throwing away some of its resolution on every shot. So the good news was that I had finally found a situation that would really test every aspect of a modern camera. Then I found out that shooting this way would really test me too.At 70 miles an hour, you are moving through space at about 102 feet per second, 102.667 if you want a little more precision.
The trees are tack sharp even at 1/2500 because they are hundreds of feet away. The inch or two of forward motion is a tiny fraction of that.In the foreground though, the field is only 20 or 25 feet from the camera. Here the car’s motion relative to the field becomes visible. Another thing you can see is that the focus is just a tad back from where it should be. Even at an f/8 depth of field, it is on the ragged edge. I might want to shoot at f/11 and bring focus forward a tad next time.
