On short finals in LA. March Challenge ~ View from a Window

For the fun. Whenever I travel (by plane, boat, taxi, Uber, etc.), I challenge myself to take photos, especially when in motion and I'm not driving. It's an exhilarating feeling to compose and take the shot when you have no time to compose. This is action photography on steroids

When taking these in-motion shots, a great starting point for me is any juxtapositions. Another approach is to search for form vs content projects.

One big benefit for me, taking photos on the fly, is that it helps to build muscle memory and to understand the camera settings and modes which ultimately helps me to focus on the photo creation and not fumble around with the hardware.

If course inquiring minds want to know if you are in the wheel well or more likely taken from a different aircraft?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Great job.

Nice shot, Maurius. Reminds me of Frogger except the plane trumps the cars in this game. Lol! I like the opposing angles. The cars are just right too.

Thank you

Dean Wilson if the image will keep the viewer 1s longer pondering the fate of the photographer then im happy :)

That's a great idea Marius, I often look at such opportunities myself (why not???).
Traveling the streets of NYC actually resulted in me spending lots of time experimenting with my long exposure techniques.

I like the way you have combined the various transportation elements into this
