On the Road

One of my favorite things to do while RIDING in the car is to take pictures of the road. I haven't quite mastered taking photos while driving (and I don't endorse anyone else trying it). So, typically I'm only able to capture my favorite road scenes on Saturday as we're driving to church (I guess it's not the only time, but it's often the time of day I'm thinking about it). 

Anyways, last weekend while I was capturing some beautiful sky shots for Shoot and Edit/Good to Wow (I know, I should know what my own meme is called, right?), a plane flew right into my frame. While it's not the best shot, I've been on a secret mission to capture planes in the sky. I hope this is the start of many more plane shots taken from the ground (rather than in the sky).
On the Road RS
With that said, we're hitting the road again this weekend to go to a wedding. I'm really looking forward to it, but it also means that I won't be blog hopping this weekend. However, that doesn't mean I'll be absent (you didn't think I'd forget Scavenger Hunt Sunday did you?). Be sure to come back tomorrow for Selfie Saturday - I've waited all week to share these photos so you'll want to check them out.

I really like this! Again, it's like those vintage postcards that people had in the 50's, when the super highways were being built. What will you do with all your plane pictures?

deb duty said...

Beautiful clouds and lucky you to capture a plane too!

Casey Martinez said...

My camera stays in my lap when I am a passenger and beside me when I drive. (I pull over to shoot) When traveling across the country last summer, I learned to take photos through the windows while Jeff continued to drive. We just couldn't stop for every wonderful sight. here is the link for the travel blog of that trip

The only time I am able to take pictures on the road is when I'm stuck in traffic. :(

Have fun at the wedding, Ashley!

Courtney said...

This is beautiful! I admit to secretly loving to snap pics while in the car - usually with my iPhone. I cannot wait to see the selfies tomorrow. Gotta do mine today. Y'all have fun and be safe!

I'm loving this picture! I haven't mastered taking photos while driving either. Frankly, I'm too scared to try it!

Tracy said...

Beautiful sky shot!! I always take a lot of photos with my phone while I am driving. I have yet to upload them and do anything with them ;)

Kindred Spirit said...

I love the sky, the fluffy clouds and the color are amazing! When I lived in Greensboro years ago, we would go to a spot right by the PTI airport where you could park and the planes flew directly overhead just before landing..so they were like THISCLOSE to you. It was awesome. Maybe Raleigh has a place like that too that you can find!

Mandy said...

I love to take pictures on the road, too! But like you, I haven't quite mastered it. And since I've promised myself I wouldn't attempt it with Bennett in the car, I don't get much practice :) Have fun at the wedding!

Marla said...

Love this shot. My windshield is always too dirty to take pictures on the road. Lol.

Side by Side said...

I love plane shots too! I was on a photo walk last summer and stood in the middle of the street for several minutes to get the shot I wanted. lol

Liz said...

This is a neat shot, we have planes everywhere here.

Have a great weekend.

Cecily R said...

Your first comment is SO right! It does look like a vintage postcard!

I have to admit that I've only taken REALLY crappy pictures from the passenger seat, but Summer is mini road trip season at our house, so I'm determined to get some better ones.

Have a great time this weekend!!

Courtney K. said...

I am totally guilty of taking photos while driving...except I take them with my iPod. Can't imagine using an actual camera....lol. :) Beautiful shot.

Jessaca said...

LOL on the photo taking and driving. I do the same. You got a great photo.

Jaime said...

Love this...especially the editing! The color is gorgeous.

Becky Sue said...

Love the processing! I, too, like taking photos of the road but I'm rarely in the passenger seat even when my husband is around.

Chic Homeschool Mama said...

I love it! Looks great. I took some sky photos today and a plane flew by, but he was way up high.

kbreints said...

Love it. Some of my favorite shots have been taken while driving... but I always have one hand on the wheel.... does that make you feel better? Shhhh... don't tell my husband.

Kathleen said...

Love the color of the sky and the plane! Love that the plane is so low in the sky!

momphotographer said...
