Unless you jump up and down, why shouldn't a car be stable?

As long as one does not move -- and waits for things to settle down when one does. A true photo rig would have remotely controlled hydralic jacks that lower and support the vehical.

You might check out Michael Strickland's website http://www.michaelstricklandimages.com for inspiration regarding midwest/prairie landscapes. Many of the images on his site are from California, but he recently moved back to his native Kansas and has been shooting there. Check out the "News" section.
