UCC Feltham 2145 speeds past the depot and St Judes church.
1/76 scale OO gauge London tram layout. The tram is built from the Tower Models plastic kit, so it's a relatively easy job to have the rear platform doors open in prototypical fashion.
On 14th August 1979, 47544 speeds north away from Gloucester at Churchdown, with a passenger service for Birmingham. In October 1989, 47544 caught fire, and after being moved to Doncaster Works for assessment, it was placed into store there and withdrawn during February 1990. Moved by road to MC Metals at Springburn, it was disposed of in June 1991.

Scuderia in the Monaco tunnel...
Not the sharpest shot but I like the way it came out...

I always thought he was going too fast. You'd never catch Mario tearing around like that! A fun parody tee for all you gamers of the early 90's.
...I've always wanted to get driving shots. That is shots of how it feels like to be driving - and you know me - especially driving at night. However, since the car is moving and you have little light these shots are hard.
One of my contacts (toni V) has many terrific driving shots. I was hoping to replicate this shot he has, but I failed. More on that in a bit...

...I had heard that using a Gorilla tripod strapped to the headrest is one solution. However, when I took this shoot I did not have my Gorilla Tripod yet (the Amazon box was waiting for me when I got home today!!). So I strapped the tripod in the backseat with the legs on each side of the divider. Then I secured it used both seatbelts in the back. I also used the passenger's seatbelt. It was pretty sturdy and did not move much.
Then I attached my Rebel with my new 10-20mm Sigma. I wanted a wide shot so I could see all the windows so I shot wide open at 10mm.
My first shoot got too much of me (see the first shot below) so I adjusted the camera and moved my seat way back and inclined the seat backwards. Fortunately, my car has a telescoping steering wheel which I adjusted to towards me so I could reach it. Then I started driving slowly and smoothly. This takes some effort since I typically drive somewhat aggressively (if you drive this car like a Camry you find yourself wanting a Camry - which is no bad thing mind you). Also I drive mostly alone so I don't have to think about jolting people or tripods with expensive gear on them around with sudden burst of speed or jolting gear changes.
I also tried to avoid potholes, but in Jersey this is hard. Most of these shots are from Port Imperial Blvd. (goes along the Hudson with nice views of Midtown Manhattan) at speeds of about 30 mph.
Then I decided to go on the Turnpike at speeds of 50-70 mph. Surprisingly these shots did not turn out that badly.
I need to experiment a lot more with this, but I happy for a first try.
I also attempted to replicate this shot by Toni V:

Terrific don't you agree? I love his shot. He took it without a tripod (it is a 10 second exposure!!!). He also provided this sketch:

I tried this sitting still in a parking lot (and pressing the camera against the glass and got blurry shot every time. Toni V must have arms of steel...
I also should have taken these shots without rain (to see better through the windshield and with more traffic (this was arond 10 pm). I will try to zoom closer to the windshield as well.
You can also try these shots during the day with some cool results as another contact of mine does (hermanau)

Here is the slideshow of my shots...

UPDATE: I deleted a shot and added two more.

Just trying something a little different and taking advantage of the stabilization. Despite the title, the car was moving pretty slowly and I was the passenger. :P

Small-boiler Isle of Man Steam Railway Beyer Peacock 2-4-0 tank No.8 'Fenella' (works No.3610 built in 1894) working the 1 in 240 section on the approach to Santon on 9th April 2013. A brief lull in the strong easterly wind allowed at least one satisfactory pan image with the exhaust trailing over the train.

Changed the original to this shape so I could use it as desktop wallpaper. Wakes me up in the morning far better than a coffee! Just love that zoom effect, and so easy to make (for us of small talent!)
Silver Creek & Stephenson Railroad engineer John Bertram opens the throttle on Heisler steam locomotive number 2 after creeping along for a slow order. The SC&S operates over 1.7 miles of abandoned Milwaukee Road track south of Freeport, IL.
To achieve this effect, I used a shutter time of 2 min 21 sec and a flashlight.
(I only used photoshop to remove color noise caused by the extreme long shuttertime)
My panning is much less than perfect, but I love the colours and the effects of the lights... it really creates the feeling that this taxi is making its way onto Meiji Dori at warp speed. Shinjuku san chome, Tokyo. September 28, 2009.
The Guinness World Records lists the Symphony of Lights as the world's largest permanent light and sound show. I’m trying to think who Hong Kong’s competition is. Disney theme parks must have nightly shows. Maybe the casinos in Las Vegas, even Macau’s. Regardless, one cannot leave Hong Kong unimpressed.

There is this story,
that once people knew,
that high speed is bad for you.
It says, that at the beginning of the
railway-era in the 19th century
some people were warning,
that the speed of a train
with at that time inconceivable 30km/h,
would definitely damage your body.
But people have forgotten this fact
and so they happily travel
with 900 km/h through the air,
whilst yawning themselves through
kingdom of boredom in 9000 meters
above ground.
Would they just know.
So speed is just a figure
and quite relative I guess.
It is how you perceive
which shakes life out of the sleeve.
So just imagine:
If you lie, after this “boring” flight
somewhere near the equator
in your beach chair facing east,
enjoying the seascape, a drink
and your holiday,
then just remember,
that you,
actually,
because of the earth-rotation,
are spinning with a speed of about 1600 km/h
through space,
on a big stone called earth,
which hurries with roughly 108 000 km/h
around the sun.
The sun again rotates around the center
of the milky way with whopping 900 000 km/h
so that it only takes about 240 million years
to travel once around.
This is then called a galactic year.
Our solar system is about 20 galactic years
old.
Quite young one could say, but also this
is relative.
A little bit giddy?
As said, all about perception it is.
So now just take another sip of your drink
and enjoy your time,
your moment,
...and your speed
