"Slingshot"

You thought you were bad-ass with your rifle?

This guy is vicious with that camera! :-)

Note: Who is this guy and what is he shooting?
He is street artist Joe Mangrum, a well known fixture
at Washington Square Park, and he shoots his sand paintings,
usually after finishing the job.

I think he does everything with a driven passion. It's a great technique to steady the shot too.
Great grab Sam. V

Very impressive Pentax !! V

Whatever it takes to steady the shot. Looks like you "nailed" the decisive moment.
