ENI bring you back to Toraja Country, Sulawesi (Indonesia). After the pictures of the traditional funeral ceremony I attended, in the village of Bori, here is a small video that gives a good idea of the atmosphere.
Atmosphere in Toraja Country
Sensitive souls and animal lovers, be careful before watching this little film... Pigs and buffaloes are sacrificed and skinned during funerals: these images can be offensive.
This video was made with my Canon Eos 7D. The image quality is really fantastic, compared to what I did on the same theme in 2007, in another village of Sulawesi, with my little Powershot A95.

Hi Corinne!
She is strong this video with these songs!
It's well shot, did you use a foot?
@Fabrice: Thank you! No, not a tripod, too cumbersome to lug around on a trip, especially as I'm already carrying a lot of gear, between my diving equipment and the underwater housing for the camera. I did it all with my Eos 7D, making sure I was firmly planted on my little legs, to remain as stable as possible. It's not as perfect as using one foot, but it does the job.

To stand on your own two feet, you were!
