The Iban - Malaysian Borneo sent on November 15, 2013 (17:28) by Nikcola. 6 comments, 1026 views.

, 1/60 f/5.0, ISO 200, hand held.

La popolazione Iban comprende la percentuale maggiore (quasi il 34%) degli abitanti del Sarawak nel Borneo malese. Già noti per essere i più formidabili cacciatori di teste, dell'isola del Borneo, gli Iban di oggi sono generosi, ospitali e tranquilli. Gli Iban tradizionalmente abitano in case dette longhouse, una struttura che comprende molte ampie stanze capace di ospitare un'intera comunità di famiglie. In una casa tradizionale Iban si può ancora oggi trovare qualche testa a trofeo . Queste teste sospese ricordano una vittoria tribale e sono segno d'onore per la famiglia. Gli Iban cessarono di cacciare le teste nel lontano 1930.

Beautiful gallery and very interesting description associated with this photo .. shooting per se is affected by the flash too strong, a little cured composition (to avoid the white piece of plastic on the ceiling and the man with the white shirt sitting in the background) .. probably served a resume point of the verse.

Hello!

Hello Viaggiatorenotturno!
With the passage and comment! :-)
In fact I would need a different point of recovery, but we were guests in a longhouse, and in particular in the area common to all their houses (it is a long corridor covered and closed at night), and the space was quite limited.
The shot was better sarbbe a bit 'more low, but in any case difficilemente I could avoid the various people sitting on the ground.
However, a truly beautiful experience!
Hello

and in any case you should definitely give money for this .... one that is part of the 'IBAN' and 'better than coming off benefits otherwise their heads off!. I like the expression on the subject's face, a greeting
