Iran is a mysterious place, like the girl kept in the veil, people can not see its true face. Visit Iran was a strange experience, in June, i has been invited to Iran, start a 10-day interview this country which has a long history and civilization and this "different" but not incomprehensible world contacts are only accessible, is so unique and colorful.
  Iran, formerly known as Persia ,until 1935, has been in use this name, it is the cradle of civilization and culture, since 2500 years,the historical record of mankind has followed, whether in culture or the modern civilization of ancient Iran are on the world impact.
In media reports, Iran is not representative of the image of angry politicians,constantly being sealed has been opened by the seals on uranium enrichment facilities. In the political fog, the Iranian state of society, the real life of ordinary people,has always been concerned about the needy.
Before his departure, thought to carry photographic equipment and facilities, and a variety of equipment, because there is not much relevant data and information can only be prepared for as far as possible, usually taking pictures, I rarely use a tripod, thinking can not lose any opportunity to mull and put it, only Jie Bao G-1228 tripod lighter a lot than I ever used to be, which is made of carbon fiber materials, production technology, weighing only 1.4 kg. As is too long, although the tripod can not hit the trunk, but the amount of light than a lot of small shelves, there is a saying: the road not far from light bear. I like to go out for the photographer is particularly important, in fact, do not care what equipment you bring, but to see what kind of pictures you shoot, not the more equipment to make us feel better. Heavy luggage make you tired, for the shooting and feel of the state will be destroyed. The best option is to meet your needs, the more concise the better.
 After nearly 8 hours of flying, just the hotel stay in Tehran, we let the tour guide to Tehran with the most prosperous street, walking in the streets, colorful shops on both sides, all kinds of brand-name products advertising people to promote a new way of life. If it is not seen wearing a black robe through the women, there is no different wwith other countries. The faces of people is full of confidence, the outside world is full of curiosity. Iranians were the immediate enthusiasm of foreigners attracted by the sudden and kept on the ground before the initiative and say hello greetings, and then will ask you to visit their feel of city and country. Gowns and gauze covered the woman's body and hair, but the eyes of God giving them more attractive, when they saw the lens, and did not deliberately evasive, smile at and memorable.
    Has a long history of the ancient city Shiraz, as the city out of the two great world-renowned Iranian poet Saadi and Hafez, the city was known as the "poetry of all." At dusk, into Sadie cemetery, where the Iranians to hand his poems, his fingers gently touch the tomb, to express the incomparable master of Persian Language and Literature respect. Dignified and beautiful corner of the cemetery girl sitting on a bench, quietly reading, a group of students led by teachers pay their last respects at the cemetery, and memorial to the poet that respect. People left behind by their poems to communicate with their souls, Saadi Tomb fragrance of love that comes out, even after his passing away future generations can also loop forever.
    After a long wait, late in the night the plane finally landed at the Isfahan airport, out of the stuffy cabin, Isfahan fresh breath of air, suddenly the city gave me a good mood. Bus go car sitting in the hotel, after the world's largest --- Imam Square, Grand Place, in the light on even more charming. No wonder that this city when the Iranians will tell you a description of it, "Isfahan under half a day," Although this is in the 16th century that the magnificent scenery of the city make the assessment, but after a few days visit, the size of countless mosques and vaults in the decorative patterns is surprisingly beautiful, Isfahan is a big vaulted Bazha that the streets covered with the composition of the real labyrinth, it is all over the Middle East and most lively Bazha. Walk to find any item imaginable, more numerous mosques, teahouses, public baths and even gardens. Arched roof is enough light to make small holes into the goal, while blocking the summer heat intrusion, unwittingly walked a lap around the market, nearly 5 km, every retired glance feel more attractive and surprise, I walked will be back a kind of feeling.
    Isfahan is also a very full place to recall and reverie, it was the "Silk Road" Road to a post, is the material and cultural exchanges between East and West center. The dynasty had been Tiemu Seoul army conquered the city and two Afghans, two are in the slaughter, when the world almost the largest city of its destruction. Today, walking in the streets of Isfahan and feel just peace. At dusk, the cool summer ushered in the good old days. Like the family atmosphere of the Iranians have to get out and spacious, tree-lined large central garden, the famous Imam Square, the old kai help the family come here baby, bring blankets and cooking utensils, tea and cooking, leisure ease. Expensive, old-fashioned carriage attracted to them, that people waiting in a long line bus, sitting in the car, watching the sunset shining on the top of the magnificent mosques, serene peace of mind.
  With the advent of night, the most romantic city of Isfahan would tie the number built in the shape of the river Yang several unique bridge. Kazakhstan home built 450 years ago, bridge, pedestrian bridge, farmland irrigation water under the bridge opening, carefully designed lighting to the bridge like a crystal clear according to people sitting under the bridge of the tea house, sipping tea while pumping a name as the "gamma in the Yang" water pipe, looked, into the golden light reflected from the front of slowly flowing water, adventurous people to each other in the arm with the dam under the bridge walk, to open the weekend camping here just as the ideal family sites, watch lying on the carpet covering the towel in the sound sleep of people, a bit where I can not imagine the feeling. To Iran before the hearing and friends in the countries of these misconceptions are turned into water under the bridge at ease away.
    Days of the trip, for a country with 7,000 years of ancient civilization, all the feelings are just skin deep. Whether in the magnificent reliefs on the ancient Persepolis, or known as half the world's modern leader in Isfahan and Tehran, the Iranian street, I see the face of Iranians are full of confidence . Has a long history in their own country to live freely and create their future. Iran has not changed because of me, but the trip to Iran, I have changed my understanding of this country.
This trip is not a lot of use of a tripod, but only became a monopod I just love a good partner. Although it is not as stable as a tripod, but it is more lightweight and flexible features for me in the habit of shooting, because usually like to shoot people's living conditions and scenes, so always use a tripod is not practical, but just to be monopod complement the weaknesses of its carbon fiber frame is more lightweight materials, horn, people move to reduce the hand under the camera lens with long focal length and the resulting consumption of physical trembling, dark in the case of a relatively light increase reliability. With the popularity of digital cameras, and development of a number of professional SLR camera image precision and quality has been able to meet the needs of most newspapers and magazines, a professional digital camera may at any time adjust the speed and flexibility of a lightweight monopod to most competent shot under low light, and an increase in the use of shooting flexibility.
    Jie Bao made through the use of a tripod and monopod, with a re-awareness of domestic products, it is in the process, very sophisticated, very elegant look, feel comfortable, especially the increase in foam jacket even in the winter to give the feeling of soft warm . Designed to focus on simple and practical, I use this pan is also with the past is somewhat different, adjust the knob to use a smooth lubrication, quick-change plate mounted camera novel and practical. Lightweight monopod and support secure, always shooting for the documentary category for the genre of the photographer is a good choice.
