The Petronas Towers
The Petronas Twin Towers.
HDR mode. No matter what angle, what lens, what camera body you use to capture this magnificent building, you will never capture its sheer size and beauty. This was a see-it-to-believe-it moment for me.

Taken with a Sigma 10-20mm, 77mm Keep polariser, Manfrotto Tripod, and Canon remote shutter release and HDR. Exit: f/22 @ ISO 100, for 22 seconds with +2 bracket exposures.

I love your portfoliio! :)
Hopefully, I’ll give my own go to this building in about a month, I don’t have a very wide angle so we’ll see what comes out of it, exciting prospect anyway :)
Keegan Wong replied
Thanks Christelle…I really do appreciate your kind words there mate =)
Be sure to take this from every angle possible…that includes from the sidestreets far away from the actual building itself!
Another thing I regretted NOT doing is taking a shot from the front. This shot was taken from the back of the building (the front of the building has two large lumps at the base). There should be an entrance fountain at the front. If you do well, you won’t need a wide angle lens to capture half of this building’s magnificient beauty. It really is an eye opener to the architecture world.
You have some awesome portraits in your gallery too. Keep it up mate.
Cvail73
Thanks so much for such great advice, I will try to be worthy of them :) I find architecture more difficult than portrait of photojournalism probably because of the size issue… It will be my only chance to take the building in the forseable future so I’d better make it good! :)
Cheers mate :))
Antoine Dagobert

Great shot Keegan. Watched them build this on the discovery channel and was amazed that as they were putting the walkway in between the two buildings, it still had nearly a metre to go before they were connected, the architect jumped from the walkway to other building!!
Keegan Wong replied
Gosh I wouldn’t dare do that! Awfully high, and you don’t want to trip for sure haha. I’ve gotta watch it sometime. Thanks for dropping by!
onefourseven
Think they still show it quite a bit, its part of the Megastructures series
amarica

Anthony Begovic
Beautiful shot of the Petronas Towers. It’s great the way they’re glowing!
Jason Adams
Amazing capture Keegan. I wonder how much power it takes to keep that sucker lit up like that.
Keegan Wong replied
Yes..the same thing crossed my mind when i actually saw the building for myself. It was literally glowing. think about the carbon emissions haha. But they now turn it off at 12 midnight to save energy…i guess thats an improvement :) thanks for dropping by mate, appreciate it lots.
Azzurra
I LOVE THIS :D
Alan Findlater
Really good work well done
Gottography .
Beautiful glow around towers, was that natural?

For the update (see further up), I ended up going to Melaka and Penang, but not KL this time around, I’l go on another trip… Can’t wait! :)
Keegan Wong replied
both great places still, I rmb shooting with a Sony Cybershot in Penang, and still manage to get great photos. How awesome must it be to be you right now, travelling like no one cares ;)
Cvail73
Yes I loved bot Melaka and Georgetown! I stayed in the Cheong Fatt tse Mansion in Penang, when you go again, stay there if you can it’s fantastic!!
When the place is great you are right, whatever camera one has.. I remember going to Sasntorini Island in Greece, and |I only had a stupid 2Mp cam, and they still came out great!, the light is so amazing over there!...
We stayed five days in Melaka, I could have easily stayed longer, ..
I wish I was traveling more than I do, I want to see so much!!

Did you add a glow to the towers? Or is this pic untouched? Great capture never the less.

Hi Keegan
- stunning shot -thanks for including the camera details- I think that you like the 10-20 lens just fine -I was recently in KL and was disappointed at all of my shots of the towers- I think you capture the scale here magnificently -daveMary Campbell
