Staring. Stallion.

Way up north in The Netherlands (just before the wall), lies the village "Den Helder"
It's the last place before you actually walk into the North Sea. Quite logically you can find some quite remote places there! I was on a hike when I spotted a group of wild horses. Sadly for me, I only had a 50mm lens with me at the time.

If you know a thing or two about photography you probably already know... This meant I had to get about two feet away from this insanely beautiful beast in order to get some interesting compositions. I am going to let the pictures speak for themselves. Text is just text. I think this post will give you the sense of both fear and gratitude I felt during this encounter which just lasted 60 seconds.

Once more I provided a .GIF in which I show you guys how I edited the first picture!

Sharp they are! Even though shot with a 1.4 lens! (It's a beast, the canon FD 50mm 1.4 is)

thanks for dropping by!

Wow! Such amazing shots with what you had in hand, but that shows how when the time comes you just have to go for it or you will lose the chance. I really liked the way it becomes obvious that it is a wild animal, and so makes it even more beautiful!
Thanks for the good work!

Very nice! Especially the third photo. Nice focus.

Beautiful photos, thank you so much for showing them to us! This horse is just gorgeous - she has such stubby little legs and looks incredibly robust and strong... It must have been incredibly exhilarating to get this close to her. How lucky you are to have wild horses to visit. They are such magical creatures <3
