Petronas Towers
The iconic Petronas Towers taken from the Sky bar of the Traders Hotel. No tripods are allowed, but you can balance your camera on a ledge.
I am back from a short trip to Kuala Lumpur, which explains my absence on flickr for the past few days. I had the great opportunity to meet local flicker buddies Vedd and Ariffin. We had a great time, special thanks to Vedd for driving me around all over the place until late night!
I am traveling again tomorrow, this time for the Christmas holidays. I'll be able to access flickr from time to time. I wish you all a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year! All the Best for 2008!!!
This shot is a Vertorama (vertical panorama), composed of two shots taken with my Tamron11-18mm. Also did some Digital Blending to balance the exposure.
More long exposure shots in my Night Photography Set.
Sunset and the petrona towers
Iconic view of Kuala Lumpur during sunset, from the Sky Bar in the Traders Hotel.
The famous Petronas Towers seen from the Sky Bar of the Traders Hotel at sunset (no tripods allowed).
I am currently having a short trip to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. In KL, we had a big reunion with my buddies from Singapore, Rajesh and Sai, and from KL, Virginie, Vedd, Acidsulfurik, Dashuki, Firdaus, Muhammad, Irwanizam.
It was my first outing with so many flickr friends and we had a wonderful time. More shots to come indeed!
Special thanks to Rajesh for driving Sai and I all the way from Singapore to KL!
Technical info for this shot: 6 exposures Digital Blending & Vertorama. The stitching was done manually and was quite tedious because of the optical distortions for the upper part of the towers. It took me over 2 hours to process the shot.

Another looking up view around the Petronas Towers. I guess I've not explored all the angles yet!

Just another add-on to my 'looking up' series of the Petronas Towers! I have a couple more to come! I could not have composed those shots without my angle view finder, since the camera was on the tripod 30 cm from the floor.
Taken during a late night outing in KLCC with buddies Rajesh and Sai. After that, we only had 4 hours to sleep before going to a sunrise shooting!
Some tech info: The sky is originally greyish, the blue color was obtained by changing the temperature to tungsten. The light beams were made more visible by increasing the black level (all done in Adobe Camera Raw).
