Image of The Week: New Caledonia – Net Casting Fisherman

This image was taken in New Caledonia, and is of a local man trying to catch some fish on the lagoon. The method is called net casting, and is a tried and tested apparatus of catching fish that are left on the reef at low tide. I followed him with my camera as he stalked his waiting catch for quite some time. He continually cast and retracted his net, and it took quite a few shots to capture this image, as the net would move so fast when thrown, and the light at dusk made it hard to see.
