Humans domesticated horses and needed them to perform a variety of duties. One type of horse-powered work was the hauling of heavy loads, plowing fields, and other tasks that required pulling ability. A heavy, calm, patient, well-muscled animal was desired for this work. Some homesteaders choose a horse drawn plow for an experience that brings them closer to nature and avoids the costs of gasoline and machine parts. In the Romanee Conti vineyard in Bourgogne is a tradition.

Location
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, in Burgundy, France that produces white and red wine. It is widely considered among the world's greatest wine producers, and DRC bottles are among the world's most expensive. It takes its name from the domaine's most famous vineyard, Romanée-Conti.Time
The first hour of the morningLighting
To take this photo definitely the best time is in the morning or at sunset: Unfortunately for this type of work you prefer to use the coolest hours of the day, or just after sunrise.Equipment
My Nikon D800 with a old nikkor AI 24mm f2,8 No tripod, no flash.Inspiration
I am an agronomist, and I am very interested in the different cultivation techniques, even the oldest and most traditional. Humans domesticated horses and needed them to perform a variety of duties. One type of horse-powered work was the hauling of heavy loads, plowing fields, and other tasks that required pulling ability. A heavy, calm, patient, well-muscled animal was desired for this work. Some homesteaders choose a horse drawn plow for an experience that brings them closer to nature and avoids the costs of gasoline and machine parts.

I tried to emphasize some aspects of photography, using the method given by Ansel Adams ....In my camera bag
My Nikon D800, with only old nikkor AI lens: 24mm f2,8, 135 mm f2,8 and 300mm f4,5. A solid tripod and a monopod.Feedback
As always it is good to study first what you want to photograph: to make this photo I am informed about the processing methods implemented by Property Romanée-Conti.
