The 1Z66 made a brief stop at Dawlish to drop off passengers returning from their day out to Shrewsbury. This gave me the opportunity for a night shot. This is a time exposure taken with my drone. I anticipated the duff would run off the end of the platform so this was my only option. Time exposures with a drone are a real hit and miss affair. The slightest movement will ruin the shot. The wind was almost non existent on this evening and any breeze was blowing off the land. If the breeze was blowing from the sea then the drone would have been buffeted quite a bit.
