Remarkable Warwick Castle - with Leica M9 and Voigtlander lenses

The trebuchet was the largest and most formidable of the siege machines and was, in essence, a huge catapult.

They say the Leica M9 is not recommended for action photography. The fireball launched by the Warwick Castle Trebuchet is travelling at 150Mph, these immages are captured with a Leica M9 and Voightlander 35mm.  The detail is impressive!
