I'm Phil Noble, senior photographer at Reuters, and here's how I took that photo that went viral.

This was probably the fourth or fifth police station that Reuters had visited that night.

Past simple

When I arrived, it didn't look anything out of the ordinary.

There was no cars, there was no increased activity.

And to be honest, just before he arrived, I'd left and go back to the hotel.

The hotel's an hour away from the police station we were at.

And my colleague Marissa messaged me and said, look, two cars have just arrived.

within a minute of arriving back, the shutters on the garage at the police station came up and two cars left.

For every car shot that you do, the hit rate's really, really low.

If I've shot 100 of these and got 10, I'd be amazed.

It was one of those kind of pinch me moments where you look at the back of the camera, you're tired, it's been a long day, you know, you've got him.

And then I said to my colleague, can you just double check?

Because you want to make sure you, you know, you can't believe that you've got him as well as I did.

Is it up there with one of the most important, 100%.
