The story

For this year’s edition of King’s Day, I visited Breda: a sun-filled day with nice people and way-too-expensive drinks! Unfortunately, I used the silent electronic shutter instead of the mechanical one, which caused banding in many of the pictures of the band under the spotlights – so a lot of photos didn’t pass quality control. Better luck next time!
