This is a dramatic shot of the small trebuchet in mid-launch. This photo took 10 tries to take because the little trebuchets action is so quick. By the time you press the shutter button, the projectile is in the air! We named it 'pequeno' which is Portuguese for 'small'. Note: No rubber dogs were harmed during this photo shoot. This dog here goes the farthest and that is why I like to use him rather than the rubber fish.
