World equestrian meet

[(Ghastly) Krueger]

Hi

This event took place some weeks ago in my city, but I just found time to finish PP. (I still want to try converting some into B+W, but am not done with that)
I messed up pretty heavy with most pics, but learned my lessons (2nd shoot with a dslr, forgot that I can switch ISO)
Anyway,
1. This guy is practicing what we call "rejoneo" in Spanish, which is basically, bullfighting on horse.

2.This is one of the famous Domecq horses, his rider was practicing some dancing

3. Same as the above

4. Horse portrait

5. A tight turn

6. Horse portrait 2

7. Dancing

(That's an ugly halo around the hat... will have to check the jpg compression)

8. "Jarabe Tapatío" a traditional Mexican dance... this time with a horse.

Thanks for looking and commenting!

Boy oh Boy....that was one tough venue. Sunlit tent and white shirts/horses and action, all at the same time.

Your subject matter is very interesting. Just keep working on the things you realize need more help.

Thanks for your comments.

I liked the close-ups, meaning pictures 3 to 6!

The other ones were hard conditions, I suppose. Keep going.

By the way,

I am looking forward to the B/W pictures you mentioned in your initial post! Are you going to upload them?

Greets, Felix

I like #6 best, great horse portrait .... then I see he's foaming at the mouth! Maybe you can clone that out!??
