Malagasy Pirogue

A Malagasy family finds a suitable spot to get some fish for dinner. In the teeming with wildlife waters off Nosy Komba, Madagascar, they don't have to venture too far to do that... just yet. Note: This picture is not running for any award on Photoburst.net. Since we usually re-publish the Photo of the Month on the 31st of every month, David Lazar (July's guest editor) kindly suggested publishing this picture today and, yes, it was really hard to say no to such honour :)

Technical details: 1/1600s, f/8, ISO 320
Canon EOS 5D, 17-40mm f/4

Ampangorinana, Nosy Komba, Madagascar

I like to think of myself as the most travelled member of our team, but that would only be true if reading travel, geographic and surfing books/magazines accounted some mileage. Still divided between several walks of life, I strongly believe in Murphy's law "If anything can go wrong, it will". Photography plays a huge role in my life, at least judging by my conversation topics. Gray hair will eventually take the better of me.

Photoburst is a photo of the day contest focusing on Travel Photography.

Everyday (from the 1st until the 28th), among all images uploaded by our contributors, we publish a photo of the day (POTD).
Every week (on the 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th), among all POTDs of the preceding week, we select a photo of the week (POTW).
On the 30th we select the best POTW as photo of the month (POTM).

The author of the POTM receives:
a US$50 gift certificate to Kiva + (in even-numbered months only) an invitation to be Photoburst's guest editor in the following month!
