Shaking and white trails on take-off

I have often noticed that just after a plane takes off there is a couple of seconds of vibration. The aircraft shakes and then it stops.

What is this shaking or is it simply something to do with the undercarriage?

Also, why are white trails sometimes seen coming from the wingtips on takeoff and landing? What causes this phenomenon and why is it just at these times?
