Taking pictures while on the road

[clairedevere]

Do you have any tips on taking pictures while on a moving vehicle like cars or trains? I usually travel by train going to my parents' home and I always pass by this beautiful flower farm. But my photographs will always end up out of focus, I'm using an Olympus C-3000. What should be the best setting for my camera?

Prefocusing to infinity or setting the camera on "landscape" mode will do this. Use normal panning techniques for moving objects. The idea is to follow the subject as it passes in front of you and continue to follow it as you press the shutter and even after the shot is taken. If you pan at the same speed as the subject it will appear sharp against a streaking blurred background. To ensure smooth results keep your feet still and rotate the top half of your body as you track your subject. Prefocus your camera at a point where your subject will pass to ensure the picture is sharp

Thank you Ron. I'll definitely practice this to produce better looking pictures. Thank you and God bless to you and your family. :)
