Where is the places for Sunset/Sunrise shooting IN again IN Kuala Lumpur

Assalamualaikum & Hello :D

I start today's writing by rephrasing the topic "Where is the places for Sunset/Sunrise shooting IN again IN Kuala Lumpur". I rephrase In.. inside kuala lumpur.

Living in the city do cause a challenge in finding a best spot for sunset or sunrise shot. Since what we see, most of this shot are shot on rural area. So if you are living in a city.. does it mean that you cannot take a sunset or sunrise shot.? The answer is NO, of course not. We must understand sunset also do occurs in city and to shot a good sunset/sunrise image we need a good foreground or a good subject. and In the city.. you could find a lot of subject in the city and yes creative is the word for it.

ok, back to the topic, since I'm living in Kuala Lumpur, one of the busiest city in Asian, let me propose you with several places you can go to shoot for a sunset/sunrise.

1. Titiwangsa

A recreational lake located in center of Kuala Lumpur. Here you can you could have a nature's subject but with city background. Interesting huh.!! And you could also have a nature's foreground with a nice sunset/sunrise background.

Ok here are several images I shot on that place.

2. Apartment at Jelatek.

This is one of the best vantage point where you could see the city of Kuala lumpur as your back subject and a highway known as Akleh as your leading line in your images. All of this is then is painted with the color of sunset. Beautiful indeed. but then, you might find that you will end up with also equally the same composition with other person since there are not much other composition you could do up there. But hei.. if you bring a tele lens, you might end up something else differ from others. My advice if you go there, bring tele lens and do go when the visibility is good. Since you will be shooting from far.

ok let me show what I've manage to get from there.

3. KLCC

Kuala Lumpur City Center. Located in the middle of Kuala lumpur it is the most noticeable building whenever you enter the city. It also have a garden, shopping mall and a mosque in the area. Here you can shoot sunset/sunrise shot by having the KLCC building as your subject or any other building surrounded the park. Here are my shots on that place.

4. Taman Tasik Ampang Hilir.

This also a recreational lake as Titiwangsa but it is located near Selangor-KL border but it is only 10 minutes journey from KLCC. It is once an abounded lake but now it has reborn and become a beautiful place. I've just recently shot several images there and planning to go there for more as I have several composition yet to be tried on that places. As for now, here what I have from that place.

ok guys, here are some places that you could try. If interested contact me via mail, maybe we could go there together. Anyway there are more places in Kuala Lumpur have that potential and I've not try it yet. InsyaAllah once I've found more places to shoot for sunset/sunrise in Kuala Lumpur I will update it in my blog. Remind me also k. :D

Among the places to shot sunset/sunrise shot in Kuala Lumpur

Referring to the topic actually I'm replying to a topic in a forum actually...

but thinking back.. maybe I should elaborate more and give more details on the places.. but maybe not this moment

as I'm a bit tired now.. maybe tomorrow..

but for now.. below are my comments in the forum. A short summary of what I will be going to write later.. :D

Actually there's a lot of place to shot sunset in KL.
There's several places in my mind that I've see a potential in it.
but have not try the places yet.
Nevertheless, here are several places that you can go for sunset shot.

1. flat at Jelatek, -> give you a good image but already a lot of people have the same shot. But it's good for practising your skills and if you have a tele lens.. you might get different view there than the typical shot.
2. Titiwangsa -> also a good place for sunset and SUNRISE shot also.. but you need to be creative on the composition.
3. KLCC park -> also a good place to go... nice place for Sunset and SUNRISE shot also. Planning myself to do some sunrise shot there.
4. Ampang Look Out POint-> you might prefer tele lens to shot from there..
5. Taman Tasik Ampang hilir -> Another good place for shooting sunset. Not try it yet.. but have done sunrise shot there. Not a bad place
...
there's several more places in my mind but not try to shot there yet..

SEKINCHAN

Assalamualaikum

It's been a while since I post something here. Life's been a bit weird also this several past moths.

It's been a while also since I've been shooting something. Nonetheless, life start getting better now (alhamdulillah).. and I've start shooting back and hopefully I can start blogging again more frequently. ^_^

Anyway back to the topic. Sekinchan Ikan Bakar is one of the famous restaurant in Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia. If you don't know Sekinchan is one of the place located in Selangor,Malaysia.

So last several weeks, I attend my fiance friends wedding there and since I was there, it's a chance not to be missed shooting some beautiful landscape shot. Sekinchan, aside from its fresh seafood, its also known for its paddy field. But strangely there are no Sekinchan Ikan Bakar shop there.. Herm weird. ok leave it.

An evening there means that a chance to shot some sunset shot. But it's been a cloudy evening

and it seems from far that rain is coming. But hei, from my past experience I know that dull evening or even a rainy evening doesn't means that the sunset will be dull also. So I wait there,

wait there, and find some the best location to find the best composition.

Later that evening, when the sunset time comes, the view just maze me. (Subhanallah). God creations is so beautiful. So camera is ready.. filter set. Shot Shot Shot..

So guys.. bellow are the result. Quite some view huh!! This is one of my personal favorite image. Hope you enjoy the view also. ^_^

Another image of that place, I've cut the upper part of this image since the sky is not the best. "

ok guys.. a tips on how to go there.

Basically there are several ways to go there but here I show you the fastest way to go there :

Take Lebuhraya Utara Selatan >. Exit at Plaza Tol Rawang > follow sign board to Batang Berjuntai > From Batang Berjuntai, follow sign board to Tanjung Karang. Once in Tanjung karang means you are very close to Sekinchan because Tanjung Karang is just beside sekinchan. Take road to the north and you will start noticing the paddy field in your right side.

Pick you junction to go to the paddy field. And walla.. park your car.. and happy shooting guys.

^_^

1 year and another 2 months

It has been 1 year and 2 months since I first push My D80 DSLR Button...

waaah.. so fast haa time past...

anyway..

When I first buy my beloved D80.. never though I will do quite a lot of portraiture..

because I've always want to shot landscape.. It is my passion.. My love..

But after 1 year and 2 months .. it is not as it is...

anyway.. starting from only landscape images.. I've turn to portraiture because of..??

Wedding...

starting from shooting wedding for some friends.. (even though I avoided it first.. but later the request un-rejected.. :P :P )...

Later I've start shooting quite seriously for portraiture.. attending some workshop.. reading some book.. experimenting.. understanding..

But I do get a lot of benefits in portraiture..

understanding photography more ... the light.. composition .. color..

which is also applicable in landscape...

well.. enough mumbling...

let us compare my images, my first Portrait attempt and my latest one..

1st session of serious portraiture attempt :

My Recent image :

Hopefully it well get better and better.. not perfect.. but better.. ^_^

Practice Makes Better
