Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia view map

View of Petronas Towers and other skyscrapers in central Kuala Lumpur from the KL Tower(Menara Kuala Lumpur) public observation platform. The platform is a a height of 276 meters but located on the hill, so Petronas Towers ( 452 meters high) look smaller.
Taken at 19:37 - 9 minutes after sunset. While KL tower offers very nice city views, it was very difficult to get any decent night photos. Some lights inside the platform are on - they reflect on the glass, many people use cameras with flashes that make reflections even worse, it almost impossible to place tripod. I was using Joby Gorillapod to attach camera to the hand rail and tried to cover camera as much as possible from the inside light. But still some reflections are clearly visible. I didn't try to remove them while post processing.
Camera settings: AV mode, ISO-200, 17 mm zoom, mirror lockup, remote release.
Converted from raw with color temperature set to 4750K.


other sizes: small medium original auto
