I'm a pro photographer, and the best photo I took this month was shot on my Google Pixel 8 Pro, using a feature iPhone owners would give their right arm for

As a professional photographer and TechRadar's Cameras Editor, I have had the opportunity to work with some of the top camera gear. However, my favorite photo of the month was taken with my Google Pixel 8 Pro smartphone. Utilizing the dedicated Long Exposure photography mode, which is accessible directly from the camera app, I captured a unique image that showcased the simplicity and effectiveness of this feature.

While the photo was not technically perfect due to handheld shooting conditions, the Long Exposure mode proved to be a game-changer, producing results that even surpass those of certain professional cameras. I encourage Pixel phone users to explore this feature, as it can yield impressive results. For iPhone users, achieving a similar effect may require utilizing the Live Photo interface or third-party apps like Spectre, though the results may not be as consistent as those obtained with the Pixel's dedicated mode.
