The Night Has Come Photo

Photographer’s Note

The lights of the Petronas Twin Towers have just been switched on but without the spot light beaming skyward yet. This photo is 18 minutes apart from my previous upload. Taken from the open window of The Sky Bar located on the 33rd floor of The Traders Hotel in downtown Kuala Lumpur.

Hi Latiff!

A bit overexposed but still a brilliant shot.
Great sky versus the illuminated skyscrapers.

Take care

Hello Latiff!
I love architecture! I love all kinds of it! I'm crazy for skyscrapers since I was a child! The Petronas Twin Towers are unique and you really knew how to capture them magnificently: by dusk, with pretty adequate sharpness and exposure, wonderful colors, wiht the best balance between lights and shadows! It's truly attractive, pleasant and beautiful!
Great photo job!
TFS - congratulations!
Best regards,
Neyvan

Hello Latiff,
This has to be the best shot of the Twin Towers I have seen. The sunset colours make a perfectly beautiful backdrop for the illuminated twin towers. This kind of colourful display does not happen often. I don't see why Saki commented on overexposure, to me it looks just fine.

Ally seems very familiar with the City Centre. A good spot indeed to get this.

Regards
Alfred

Hello Latiff,
This is a beautiful combination of sunset and architecture. The towers look like jewels reaching into the sky. Good sharpness, too; we can even see the time on the building clock.:-)

hi Latiff

As I said earlier in your last post [just commented a minute ago], this setting of 1s brings better result from the sunset color tone of the sky, the artificial lights in focus.

I also see what I stated earlier, the lower part is a bit dark.

Overall, I like it. The rich colors are impressive for this one. Perhaps I can say one the best landscape shots in your gallery, if not the best. The distortion is not visible except for the 2 buildings at extreme right.

On the contrary, I think the exposure is done nicely. There is no OE on my monitor.

And I wonder who was with you when shooting this? Alone?

Just one minor picky thing for me. If you move just a bit to the right, you could have avoided the overlap of the bright orange building in between the twin towers and the cut by the link bridge.

Very good work. I am impressed with this one.

tfs, bill

Hi Latiff,
What a dazzling night view in the city center, good intensive of color to show the splendid sky at late evening, the Petronas Twin Towers just look like built with crystals, thanks for sharing the impressive view.

Hi Latiff,
I think that this is the most ideal frame for these luxury downtown buldings. The timing was the key for enhancing the performance and making the most beautiful background!
In my opinion the exposure is fine and using the polarizer you captured a great deal of colour tones. Are you satisfied with this lens?

Warm regards,
Athanasios.

Hello Latiff,

Superb shot of the Petronas Towers. I saw them in 2000, but not quite with this majesty. I have frequently explained to friends that if we were to visit the Himalayas for a week or two, we would see the great mountains in a short period that we were there. But I've always added, imagine the inhabitants of these exotic places, what conditions they must witness. These are the Himalayas for me. Fabulous image!

Warm regards,

Bulent
