The Making of "Traditional Cavalry"

"Traditional Cavalry" by Y.goussyra

First thank you very much everyone who voted for me in this photo contest. I am exited by this result, and I also want to thank the organizers and administrators. I'm an amateur photographer and a member of the "PHOTO CLUB AGADIR" located in Morocco in the city of Agadir.

In July of 2018 I was at the FANTASIA festival in the south of Morocco. This festival hosts traditional cavalry competitions and I took some great pictures with my PENTAX K200D camera and these lenses: smc PENTAX-DA 50-200 F4-5.6 ED and smc PENTAX-DA 18-55 F3.5-5.6 AL.
