So with previous work, I am keen to continue my work into this chapter of work. However. This time I intend to change the codes and conventions of the genre; firstly by changing the digesis of the shot. Before I've shot this in an urban area (Specifically a train crossing) this time I plan on moving away from trains and focusing on bicycles. Specifically a POV shot of the wheels heres an example:

So unlike the past photo this photo is taken in broad daylight. Allowing the ISO and detail to be much richer and smoother. I would say the shot was taken with an ISO between 100 and 200. The shutter speed is also different compared to previous examples shown before the shutter speed can be much faster yet have the same effect to the photo this is because the camera is much close to the thing moving. I would say that the shutter speed is around 60 as the trees are still mild focus. Finally I would say the aperture very low because the depth of field appears shallow.
Creating the shot.
So to take this I got my bike and set out to lady bower with my "Go Pro" in hand. To add stability for the shot I held the camera in my hand instead. Heres the shot:

So this is it. Settings on the shot were as follows:
Shutter speed of 1/100th - admittedly I should have shot at a lower shutter speed as the background is in way to detail however the result with the wheel I believe is satisfactory for what I am experimenting at this moment in time.
An ISO of 136 - I also admit that the ISO should have been lower. However It doesn't really matter as the lighting appears to be fine
And finally this shot had an aperture of F/2.8. Its enough to capture detail. do bear in mind I have for this shoot I have no control over the camera as I took this on a GoPro
