3/365 - Cycling


3/365 - Cycling

Day 3 of the project. Going paintballing in a couple of weeks and have realised I need to get my fitness back up! Haven't been out on the bike for a few weeks so today was pretty tricky! Did about 15 miles to the end of the Spen Valley Greenway and back and managed to take this.

I wanted to get a photograph of the bike with the ground going past in blur but didn't quite manage as much blur as I would have liked! I took this on shutter priority at 1/50. In my mind there are four things I could have done to improve the shot:

1. Shot at a slower shutter speed (but as I had to hold the camera near the ground whilst riding the bike, this would inevitably have led to more camera shake)

2. Attached camera to a frame to hold it steady while I used a slower shutter speed (too much faffing)

3. I could have rode the bike faster with the same shutter speed (but wasn't really brave enough to go faster whilst dangling my camera near the ground!)

4. Blurred it in Photoshop (that would have been cheating!).
