Due to the Covid-19 (Corona) pandemic, I can't go out for an outdoors photo shoot.

My alternative is to provide you with some photographs from the 'bin'.

Some Zeeland farmers are in the possession of one or more (Belgian) draft horses. These farmers are usually member of the 'Zeeland working draft horse foundation'. The draft horses aren't actually used for the daily agricultural work, but are kept as a hobby where they're used from time to time for, by the foundation organized, folklore events.

This capture was taken on March 30th, 2019 during such a folklore event at the peninsula South-Beveland, Zeeland, The Netherlands.

In normal situations I use a, so called, 'fill-in flash' (flash-light by external flash gear for a better lighting of relatively dark foreground areas), but this wasn't allowed, as it may have frightened the horses. I've tried to achieve the best possible lighting result however.

Take care, stay safe and healthy, my friends!

Now-a-days with tractors and other machinery used by farmers, it is nice to see - even if is is a show only - how the ploughing was done in the old days.

It appears they are smoothing the dirt SEA. I can see why they wouldn't allow a flash. You did fine without it.
Good looking horses.
Stay Safe & Healthy

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
