from a moving vehicle.
The main tip is to shoot in manual, setting the exposure to at least 1/350 seconds.
Any photo taken at less than f8 will be a bit soft, but can be sharpened, if needed.
Setting the ISO last, not first, ensures balanced exposure.
It may mean that the final photo may be a bit grainy, but that is better than a dizzy blur.
There is a useful explanation of the science involved on a site
"A Sibilant Intake of Breath".
It's called "Try f/8".
Oh... and I almost forgot... I always use a sturdy travel tripod to keep the camera steady.

Thanks. Stupid question, perhaps, but do you shoot digitally? Does anyone still use film? I ask because I enjoy trying to work with my cheap, simple digital camera. I've sometimes had the urge to buy a digital camera that has all the features of old SLR, but I kind of enjoy the simplicty of what I use now.

If you look back to the beginning of this blog, it pretty much tracks my efforts to learn photography.
I started with a Pentax MZ50 Film Slr but really got going with a Canon Digital Rebel.
I still like to use film, but it is relatively expensive and digital seems to have made me a bit lazy.
If you look at Davimack's comments on various posts, you will find some really good advice.
Certainly, I think a small digital camera is excellent... and it is less intimidating in a relaxed social setting, perhaps.
tripod is definitely key
