I discovered that a long time ago. As a passenger you can do, as a driver it isn't smart ;-)

I shot a trip in Scotland, through the window of a bus and then from a train…the worst is dirt on the window, always the same and always there. Because your comments and reflections, I would not do it in the same way today… Thanks Tomasz!

All you say is true. No time to worry about things like composition, sharpness etc. What you get may or not be what you thought you wanted but it's usually interesting...

While I often see compositions from the car that attract me, I rarely shoot from the car. I admit he exact composition seen from the car window is hard to replicate after getting out of the car. However, what really annoys me shooting from the car side window is if the mirror ends up in the frame.

But sometimes that becomes the most interesting part of the image.

“I can’t stop” do u shoot from a moving car?! I often shoot from a car because I’m disabled. But my husband is driving, or I’m stopped.

I resonate with this so much as both a passenger and a driver. As a driver though, these shots only happen at stop lights but I've captured so many great moments that way. Thanks for sharing.

A car certainly provides a definitive framing for many shots. When I am in mine, I question, how do I photograph something a bit differently. Same as in an airplane seat.
