Alamut is a regional in Qazvin province, which consists of two parts of the Western Alamut and East Alamut in the Alborz Mountains. This lush green area has long been inhabited by different tribes and has a long history of Iranian civilization and history. Hassan Sabbah castle and Evan Lake are among the most famous parts of the area.

The beautiful region of Alamut is one of the pristine and beautiful regions of Qazvin province. This region consists of high mountains and vast plains. Spring in this area is very pleasant and attractive. I have traveled to this area many times and enjoyed it a lot every time. This 6x17 panoramic image shows the beautiful mountains of Central Alborz in this region. Due to the morning fog, the color balance in Volvia film changed a bit. I tried to correct it a little after the scan by Photoshop.

For this image, I used the Panoral 617 camera. I set my tripod in convenient location, and put my camera with Schneider Super Angulon 90/5.6 lens on it. The lens was set at a hyperfocal distance, and the image recorded, with aperture 22 and shutter speed 1/15 seconds on Fuji Velvia 50 6x17cm roll film. I hold IIIC center filter on lens by hand.
