 This is B40, the little road that goes from Hochheim (where I live) across a bit of vineyards then into Mainz-Kostheim and Mainz-Kastel (where I work). Shot through my very dirty windshield without looking through the viewfinder.
P.S. I don't often shoot while driving, and when I do I just raise the camera, aim, fire. :-) Out of all the shots I took that evening, this is the one I kinda liked, odd though it may be. The rest went into the recycle bin.

Love the tones of this, and you got some very nice crepuscular rays! I often take pictures while driving as well, and do as you do -- just point the camera out the window and click away...every once in a while something cool turns up, like this image!

The light in this one is fantastic. I like seeing that little bit of window frame, it gives the photo context and enhances the 'on the road' feeling in it.

I like the tilt and the point of view. I'm glad you left part of the window frame visible. It adds some context and shows you're not trying to trick anyone. Next to that, I love those appealing warm tones.

I like the sepia here and the way you're about to drive in to the back of the car with the brake lights on lol
I can't tell if the camera is horizontal and the road slopes or if the road is horizontal and you slope he hee :)

The minimal elements just go together well and the back lights of the car add some visual interest. Pretty good composition for a one handed driver.

Hehe. For such a random shot it came out really well. That sky looks awesome and I don't know if it's because of the windshield or not but it looks like rays of light are shining through the clouds.

I do this, though usually only if I'm sitting still in traffic, and it never produces anything as interesting as this! My advice would be to put the camera down and move back to the correct (left) side of the road! :)

Umm - shouldn't you have been concentrating on being a safe driver?

Cool!
