This was shot in the back seat of a moving car.

Early bird gets the worm…. or early photographer gets the sunrise.

In a situation like this, it’s very difficult to get the correct lighting. Be sure to adjust these three major things: shutter speed, flash, and ISO (sensitivity to light).  Also it’s very good to shoot on a tripod because when it’s darker, chances are the shutter will stay open longer, being more prone to blur.  And of course a bit of retouching in Photoshop or iPhoto helps as well.
