Amameh is a big village of QasranRudbar, and located in the city Shamiran, Tehran, Iran. The village is 5 kilometers east of the main road from Tehran to Shemshak and is located not far from the Fasham. Amameh is high and cold mountain villages on the southern slopes of the Alborz mountains central.

This is a picture taken in the high mountains of Amamah region. I think I took this photo in 2003 or 2004. At that time I was much younger and I was very interested in climbing. I remember that the height of the mountain was about 3000-3500 meters above sea level. I had very good friends who helped me carry cameras and other equipment up the mountain. Although this photo was taken on a medium-quality color negative, the scan still produces a good image after about 20 years.

For this image, I used the Hasselblad 500 C/M camera with Carl Zeiss Planar 80/2.8 CF lens. I put kenko polarizer filter on my camera. The lens was set at a hyperfocal distance, and the image recorded, with aperture 22 and shutter speed 1/15 seconds on Konica Centuria 100 120 color negative.
