KLCC Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

KLCC or Kuala Lumpur City Centre refers to the commercial centre located in the heart of the city that includes the Petronas Twin Towers, the Suria Shopping Mall, a park, a 5-star hotel and prime office blocks.

Couldn't resist another post of the Twin Towers but this one includes the fountain, park, and public pool in the foreground. Taken from the Sky Bar on the 33rd floor of Traders Hotel. At this level and at the widest angle (FL 24mm) there is hardly any lens distortion. Thanks for looking.

hi Latiff

This shot is probably the earliest one because the time is before 7pm and the sky is still bright.

But I wonder what happens if you hold this position on a tripod and shot the quarterly hour intervals? From 6.45pm, 7pm, 7.15pm and 7.30pm, then show the different results [maybe with different camera settings to suit the exposure of light?].

The composition is nicely done here, although for night exposure, the lower part would probably be cropped out unless there are good artificial lights to make it interesting.

Good work.

tfs, bill

Hello Latiff,
A faint rendition of the distant clouds is amazing. Blue in the dark part is placed at a good point, and it's very impressive.

hej Latiff
Normaly I'm the kind of person that think taking photos of Landmarks is rather boring as they could be find in any tourist stand as postcard....
This one has something outside the ordinary you have manage to make a very attractive POV and falvored it with extraordinary colors
Good work

Hello Latiff,

Your last three photographs represent a complementary package. Few of us would see the great buildings in quite the manner that you see them, here with the pastel colors of the sky, and the light shimmering on the pool below.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hello Latiff,
as you have directed my attention to it: some distortion does exist (compare the left tower with my version in the WS) but very slight, indeed. The good result is a consequence of the optimal POV (roughly the half of the heigth of the towers) as well, beside the good quality of your lens, of course.
But not only the POV, also the colours are extremely good.
Best whishes

Hi Latiff, Very clear view of these two good-looking towers. The colours are very realistic and great overall result. Well cropped with the blue pool in the front right to balance this photo well. TFS. Murray.
