I know that these are not the greatest photos of old farms and outbuildings, but I like them. The thing is that they were all shot from a moving car (I was the front seat passenger) going approximately 35-40 mph on a winding rural road in Southeastern Virginia. I don’t often shoot landscape type shots at between 1/800 and 1/1,250 of a second at f 7.1 with an ISO of 500, but then I don’t often shoot these types of shots from a moving vehicle.
The back story is that my wife and I accompanied our niece to take her back to school in Virginia. This rural road had no shoulder and no place to stop (even though it was a rural road, there was enough traffic that it was not safe to just stop in the road - especially with the blind curves) so I just shot out the windows (some taken out the driver’s side and some the passenger side) because I had no other choice. Also, it was lightly snowing most of the way down.
It was frustrating, because I know if we could have stopped I would have gotten better shots, and there were shots I would have been able to get that I could not get moving along at 40 mph.
I was using a Z8 with a Nikkor 24-70 2.8E ED VR with an FTZII adapter. I had never shot this lens on my Z8, and it made for some really great and sharp shots even at 40 mph. Ken
