Travel Photos – KLCC Twin Tower at Night

This is my first attempt to shoot KLCC Petronas Twin Tower in Kuala Lumpur with my new travel DSLR Nikon D7000, hand held at night! The result was amazing to me! I could never believe that I was able to capture any travel night scene without dragging any bulky tripod along with me on travel.

KLCC Petronas Twin Tower was once the tallest building in the world and is still now the tallest twin building in the world measuring 451m high. It is the most prominent icon in Kuala Lumpur and perhaps in the whole Malaysia. The whole tower is lit up beautifully at night from 7PM until midnight. The lighting effect is further enhanced with lights evenly reflected by its steel and glass facade. Below it is the Suria KLCC shopping mall facing an artificial lake in front with fountain display intermittently.

Some EXIF info: Photo taken with my Nikon D7000 and Nikkor 18-105mm kit lens. Shutter speed 1/15s and Aperture F8.0. Focus distance was set to 18mm. ISO 1600. Auto White Balance. No flash fired and -2/3 exposure stop compensated with Matrix metering.

Some EXIF info: Photo taken with my Nikon D7000 and Nikkor 18-105mm kit lens. Shutter speed 1/30s and Aperture F8.0. Focus distance was set to 105mm. ISO 1600. Auto White Balance. No flash fired and -1 full stop exposure compensated with Matrix metering.

As opposed to its thrilling night view, KLCC Twin Tower, KLCC Suria and its lake are equally attractive during day time. For travelers who wish to see these attractions as well as sun bathing at beaches around Malaysia, the best time to visit Malaysia to enjoy clear sky and bright sun is actually now until the month of March.

I’m going for Holidays again this weekend to capture more Malaysian destinations scene. So make sure to come back for more exciting travel photos! – Travel Feeder, your ultimate photo travel blog
