An iconic Rotterdam location, a passing motorcyclist, and all he had to do was keep his hand steady<\/p>\n

John Emslie and his wife, Liz, were on a city break to Rotterdam when he took this photo. \u201cWe were on the Erasmusbrug, nicknamed the Swan, which links the northern and southern halves of the city,\u201d he says. \u201cThe long, white pylon and its distant glow, and the angled cable stays picked out by the projector lights, drew me in; I wanted to capture all of that light, form, scale and perspective. All I had to do was wait for the final element: the passing motorcyclist and his headlight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emslie describes himself as an \u201centhusiastic amateur\u201d and used his Google Pixel 7 to capture the scene. \u201cI\u2019m not sure my main camera could have produced such quality under such challenging shooting conditions. In low light, getting a\u00a0manual camera set up is tricky and the moment is often lost by the time I\u2019m ready,\u201d he says. \u201cThe smartphone\u2019s \u2018brain\u2019, on the other hand, is so fast and clever that shots like this are made possible. I\u00a0can\u2019t claim any credit other than for keeping my phone steady!\u201d<\/p>\n
