Hi Photography Lovers! This time, I'll bring you to my first out-of-the-country trip to Malaysia from the Philippines. This was back in September 2013. To test out my Nikon D5100, I brought it with me while traveling. Fortunately, a friend of mine offered that I can borrow her sturdy tripod so that I can enjoy night photography in Kuala Lumpur.
I was doing my research on which settings should I use. I played around with my camera, especially with the use of F-stops, Exposure time, and ISO speed.
How to go to Petronas Towers?
We stayed near Titiwangsa station so we just took the MRT going to KLCC station. I make sure to stay in a hostel or hotel that is near the MRT station.
You can visit the Petronas Towers by day but it's more magnificent when you see the Petronas Towers at night. If I use an ordinary camera, I won't get this kind of photo at night.

After doing our test shots, we decided to take random photos with random poses using a timer. Fortunately, we got the space for ourselves and there were no people around.
