James and Family

I've seen a lot of these types of photos on the internet before, but I never paid any particular attention to them. So I was surprised when, coming from my brother's place in the hills, I decided to get a shot of the view of the neighboring foothills from inside the car, and I replicated the effect quite by accident.

The actual view is a bit dramatic (to me at least -- nothing like my photo here ;).

And I just learned a few hours ago that, apparently, there actually is a technique to this type of shot.
