Chahar Shanbe Souri, a photo from Semnan, East

Photographer's Note

"Chahar shanbe Souri" is a night before the last Wednesday of Pesian year. It is an ancient symbolic tradition in which Iranians do some fire plays. This tradition, alike Norouz, dates from Pre-Islamic times.

hi Korosh

I must say this is very original in your POV to expose so nicely to capture this light from the fire display and you have done a good timing moment to create this pattern of graphic impression.

Something different from what I have seen and you have done a great job for this result. I wonder how many seconds shutter?

Great work.

tfs, bill

Hello Korosh,

Wonderful picture with a long exposure, this gives a excellent result.
Very lovely of colours, also the turning movement is very well.
The detail is just amazing throughout, great shot indeed with wonderful natural colours.
Sharpness and clarity are superb.
High quality picture.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Salam doste man! ... and happy New Year to all Irani people!

I remember a similar "play" of fire and sparks in one of your old photos, but this is much more impressive, trully outstanding and spectacular! Congratulations!

Hi Korosh,
Wonderful photojob very well composed with a creative POV. The effects are magnificent and the colors and contrasts beautiful indeed. The great "eye" in center became very attractive. Good job. Regards, Consuelo

Salam Korosh
I like that, that's a nice and dynamic picture wisely off centered to increase the effect.
Which year are you now in ?
Have a nice day JY

Hello Cyrus
A perfect capture of this fire display. The ghost-like figure and the row of lights in the distance also add to this brilliant photo. Tfs, Marlene

Great fire shot Korosh, have seen plenty of these types of images and yours is up there with the best of them. Looks like a fire sprinkler.
