Wish You Were Here Photo

Photographer’s Note

This one is for Bill (Trekks) who was on the other side of town when this photo was taken. We met the night before at a bar on the rooftop of a hotel overlooking the Twin Towers. I wish I had an opportunity to shoot with him while he was in town.

This photo was taken from the deck of a Cafe & Restaurant built on stilts over the lake. The building in the middle is part of Saujana Hotel and Resort ... the place some Formula One drivers or crews regularly stay.

See WS1 for an image of Cafe & Restaurant, and WS2 for a view from the other end of the lake.

PP on notebook ... still groping my way with proper calibration.

hi Latiff

Thank you so much for this kind dedication and yes, your promise on the afternoon of my departure is now fulfilled with this fine post as your next TE photo. It is my privilege to have a good evening at the 33rd floor of the hotel and at the poolside bar enjoying a fine view of the night scenery including KLCC Twin Towers, KL Tower and vicinity. It was great to share so many photo-talks and trekking with you.

I would like to really go out on the field shooting with you, street, portrait or landscape shots.

Out of the 3, all are worth to be posted by itself. But I also like the WS1 with a good part of the bar in the frame :) [not because of the drinks]. As you said earlier on the phone before my departure, the sunset is not yet arrived at this moment but the light looks good for the scene.

Good work.

tfs, bill

p/s sorry running out of smiley. I had stayed in this hotel twice or 3 times before.

Hi Latiff,
Congratulations for getting the new big beast, I wish you plenty of fun and happyness with it, as you do I'm still in the learn phase with it, even though having had canons before takes a good part of the challenge away. Nice view to this resort, good quality but the light looks a bit poor, something that has nothing to do with the camera.
Have a nice day jY

Hi Latiff,
Interseting composition to show us a natural corner in the part, full in relaxing and peaceful feel, should be a nice place to spend nice times, right time to shoot the Senja Restaurant in evening, distinct color, well done.
