25262 Dartington 12th July 2025
25262 works a late afternoon train from Totnes to Buckfastleigh on the South Devon Railway. I'd been tipped off the resident rat was working four trips Saturday and Sunday so thought I'd go for the River Dart reflection shot. With it being baking hot and 28C again there were quite a lot of sunbathers on the river bank and also a large amount of paddleboarders which can provide additional focal points and enhance the picture whilst at the same time causing ripples and ruining the pristine reflection. I rattled off about eleven frames as the rat was only doing 5 mph as there is a slack here. The ripples are different in every frame due to the paddleboarding. This is about the best. Luckily I got 'The Money Shot' with D1015 a couple of months ago.
