Recently, I learned of a technique, from book, for taking ‘night view’ photos, and decided to put it into practice. Hence, I headed to KLCC. Here are a few of my photos…
At 6.50pm…
At 7.00pm…
At 7.06pm…
Strictly speaking, I am not very satisfied with these images. I had not brought along my tripod, and was handicapped by that. Perhaps I will have another try in the near future.
Photography Tips:
‘Night view’ photos are best taken when the sky is still bluish, preferably with twilight. Do not wait until it is completely dark. Timing is critical.
It is advisable to stabilize the camera using a tripod.
Still these are great shots compared to my. :)
ReplyDeleteThat few minutes after the sun sets also known as the blue hour gives a nice blue tone to images. I believe a tripod is a must for night photography.
ReplyDeleteu should take it from da same angle but at diff timing, must be spectacular one!

I shot at wide-angle, and was hoping that I could do without tripod.

I couldn't find the best angle, so I kept experimenting.
I thought sunset time is the best....is it not?

ReplyDeleteI think sunset is best for landscape photos, while twilight is best for cityscape.

Not bad.
The images are spectacular. I am hopeless at night photography. Thank you for the tips. I hope you will enter for the Blot4ft contest too since this is about KL.You have a good post here.

A bit lazy now :P
u are really good with photography..
ReplyDeleteThe result is pretty good!
ReplyDeleteI agree with both of your tips. Twilight is definitely the best time, the light (or lack of) is amazing and it produces awesome midnight-color skies.
As for the tripod... I didn't take mine to shoot the sunset on the hill, but I regretted it!

ReplyDeleteJust so so...

If you camera/lens has IS/VR/SSS/SR, you may be able to do without tripod.
I like the last photo at 7.06pm but the building at the ground floor would look better with more light/longer shutter time?

ReplyDeleteYou have sharp eyes!
But I couldn't set longer shutter speed because I didn't have a tripod.
Next time bring your tripod and shoot again. I always like the view of the Twin Towers in the evening!
ReplyDeleteNo DHR ler?
