And what fun it is to point and shoot! You can do it anywhere--even while you're driving! In fact the shot you see below is a simple driving point and shoot I did a couple of weeks ago! You can do it too! Just hold the steering wheel with one hand, and the camera in the other. (Don't ask me which hand for which--are you stupid!?). While you're driving, just stick your camera arm out the window, point, and shoot! (Note: it's usually a good idea, for what should be obvious reasons, to roll down the window before you begin pointing and shooting--a good point and shooter is always prepared!)
Now, the shot here is not exactly a standard driving point and shoot. No, this one is a *reverse* driving point and shoot. (No, it doesn't mean the car was in reverse--that would be the reverse forward reverse driving point and shoot. Today we're only talking about the basics. The reverse forward reverse driving point and shoot is like the ninja-level of driving point and shooting.) So, the car is going forward, but your subject is behind you. It sounds simple, but it takes quite a bit of concentration and more than a little eye/hand co-ordination, because you have to line up the subject in your rear-view mirrors. See?
Easy as pie!
