Photoessay: Dawn over Kuala Lumpur

March 31, 2012 by Ming Thein 9 Comments

Although not technically aerial shots, the 421-m tall platform (plus hill) afforded by Menara Kuala Lumpur (KL tower) is a great place to get some interesting images of the city downtown at dawn or dusk – though it usually rains in the evening, so morning is a better bet. MT

Series shot with a Nikon D700 and 28-300VR.

  The Petronas Twin Towers/ KLCC. Tallest proper (non-spindly observation tower) building in Malaysia at 88 stories, and designed by Cesar Pelli.

  Thanks! D700, still good even though it’s a five year old sensor 🙂
