About I can't remember the name of this place but it's the ruines of a very old fire temple in Esfehan..
a little about fire temples :
A Fire Temple (also Dar-e Mihr in Persian در مهر, or Atash Kadeh آتشکده in Iran, Agiary in India, and various names in North America) is a place of worship for Zoroastrians. It is typically a building with a hall and various rooms or chambers, the most holy of which houses a sacred fire, which laymen make offerings to and priests perform rituals before. In Zoroastrianism, fire is revered as the son of Ahura Mazda, and represented by the Amesha Spenta Asha Vahishta, or "Best Righteousness." There are three grades of fires: the Atash Dadgah, Atash Adaran, and Atash Behram, sometimes called a "Fire Cathedral".
This part of the fire temple was situated on top of a pretty high hill, By the time I got on top it was dark so I had to use a tripod but despite using a tripod I had to use a high ISO speed also cause the exposure time was too long and the tripod kept on moving on the rocks .. so the pictures a bit grainy but I like the effect of the grains pretty much ... what do you think ?!

Shot info:
Actual shutter speed : 1.6 sec
ISO Speed : 3200
Aperture : F/11
Focal Length : 17mm
Exposure compensation : +0.3 step
Date taken : 3.19.2006

Hope you like it my friends.. Comments most welcome..

My very best wishes for you all...

Hi dear Ray .. Many thanks for your great comments .. I'm real glad you liked it .. Well just like you I'm trying to catch up with everyone but it's so hard, first of all for my long absence and then because of my bad internet connection, it keeps on getting disconnected so it's made it more than hard .. anywya I'm still trying ;)

Take good care my friend..

I think you have done exceedingly well to capture this very interesting composition my dear friend aLi. This is a very imposing ancient temple and it looks great against the beautiful colour tones in the sky. I can still clearly see details in the dark rock upon which the temple lies. Well done to you I think you exposed correctly.

I'm still catching up my dear friend.....My very best wishes to you as always.....Ray

Our super-active photographer (& recently historian) is back again :)
I like The darkness of the fire temple which adds the sense of mystery to it & the color tone of backgaround specially firy color of the road which somehow harmonizes it with ur main subject..
Tnx for giving comprehensive information about the subjects of ur photos. Such a great respect n consideration for the viewers is adorable..

Nice work dear aLi,
choosing ISO 3200 is somehow great and powerful for such this shot.
I like the composition which is really lovely,
the lights on the surface of this place feels so cold and comfortable for me,
My bests,
Mohammad
