The scene at Eisfelder Tahlmühle where 2-10-2 loco 997235 (built 1956) met 2-6-2 loco 996001 (built 1939) on their workings from Wernigerode and Quedlingburg respectively. 997235 will continue on to Nordhausen after taking water, while 996001 takes water and runs round for the return journey to Quedlingburg.
I didn't take a tripod with me this trip so had to rely on long hand-held exposures instead. Whilst at Eisfelder Tahlmühle I took very many photos in the failing light and predictably most of these were no good at all. However, I was pleased with this result at 1/5 of a second, f/4.0 at ISO 500.
