Shahrestanak is a village in Asara district, Karaj county, Alborz province, Iran. The village, is located 55 km north-east of Karaj, and 90 km of Tehran. The village of 2,190 meters above sea level and the climate is cold in winter and pleasant in summer. Shahrestanak is historic village. Nasereddin Shah Qajar, around 150 years ago, the owner was a special palace inside Shahrestanak. The palace is now known Shahrestanak palace.
When I walked in the Shahrestanak gardens, I heard was the sound of leaves. I decided to take a photo of them. The composition was a little difficult. Because everything was like each other. I decided green grass at the bottom of the composition. I think with this method I get a better composition.
For this photo, I used my Hasselblad 500 C/M camera and Carl Zeiss Sonnar 180/f4 CF lens. The lens was set at a near distance, and the image recorded with aperture 16 and shutter speed 1/15 seconds on Fuji Velvia 50 120 roll film.
