'Forth Road Bridge Sunset', by Bob Marshall

What inspired you to take this shot?
I took this photograph of the Forth Road Bridge while out on an evening boat trip on the Firth of Forth. I had not planned to take it, but it was just a stunning evening and the situation sort of presented itself.

Why are you particularly proud of it?
It was quite a challenging shot because of the low light so I had to use a longer exposure. Although the water was really calm, the pitching of the boat meant that I had to hold the camera extremely steady to take this shot. I took many photos of the same view and only a few of them actually came out without being too blurry!


What does this particular location mean to you?
I would have to be honest and say that the location is not particularly special to me but I am proud of the fact that this shot shows the iconic Forth Bridge at its most magnificent!
