When my family and I are driving to a vacation destination I always have my camera ready for photo opportunities. I am always looking for things to take pictures of. My husband usually drives so that leaves me free to take photos. However, I taken a few when I was behind the wheel as well. Do you take pictures as you are driving to a destination or do you prefer to wait till you get there? What types of things do you like to take photos of?

I never did that! It's too dangerous.I think when we are driving we always focus our full attention on this activity.Our focus should be on the road only.There are plenty of people who send text messages and take pictures while driving,but these acts can be deadly. The road and the cars are too dangerous! As I said I would never do that I value greatly my safety and the safety of others!

I take pictures ALL THE TIME on road trips - if I'm not driving that is. I take pictures out the windows of things I think look cool, of the road, of us driving, etc. We often times will stop, if we are driving somewhere scenic like up to Duluth, MN (by Lake Superior) we will often time stop and take pictures of the scenary. It gives us a little break for our legs and to stretch out and whatnot. I am so excited for this summer - I'm going to take a TON of road trips! Not sure where yet, but I'll figure it out!

Duluth is really pretty. We rented a cabin near there are few years ago. I wish my husband would stop more often. I have to beg him to get him to stop to go the bathroom sometimes. He just likes to get where ever we are going. I think it would be more fun to take our time and stop when ever we want.

I do take pictures when we travel. I like interesting trees, flowers, rest areas, sky shots, bridges, barns, animals, architecture. You just never know what you will be seeing. I have a few places where I share these things.

My husband and I are both legally blind, so we can't see well enough to drive. We cn see out the windows and snap pictures, but we can't read signs, and stuff. However, if we could see well enough, we would not take the pics "while we were driving" only while we were passengers in a moving vehicle. In April we're going by train to Montreal, and there will be lots and lots of pictures!!!

Well, is not a good idea to take pictures when you are driving. You know, sheet's happen !!! If you like something you can pull over and then take a picture.

My favorite thing to take pictures of are my kids. I really love taking photos of children in general but mainly my children. I would never take pictures while I was driving unless I pulled to a stop and then took a picture. Taking pictures while driving is as bad as texting while driving. When my husband used to drive and I was the passenger sometimes I would take photos but never when I was the one driving.

I don't usually take pictures while we are driving. We usually pull over and take pictures. My husband and I love to visit national parks and state parks. So, we will do the tour around the park, stopping to take pictures. We usually spend a day at each park. It's very fun and relaxing.
