When tourists come to visit, they would want to take pictures of these beautiful buildings.
Now, could you please tell me where is the best place to take a full picture of the Petronas Twin Towers? Menara KL? The new Istana Negara?
Chances are, if you don’t have one of those expensive wide lenses, you will only get half of the Petronas Twin Towers, just the tip of Menara KL and may be a third of the new Istana Negara.
And the relatively best places to get nice pictures of some of these buildings are at spots where you can’t park your cars.
Take the Petronas Twin Towers, for example, the best place to get a nice picture of the tallest twin towers in the world is at the entrance of the underground parking of Kuala Lumpur City Centre near Jalan Tun Razak.
Normally, many tourist buses will illegally park there so that visitors can get the best shots. And with many buses parked by the roadside, you will end up in a traffic jam if you happened to use that road.
If only we can convert certain areas, places or buildings surrounding the Kuala Lumpur City Centre into “vantage points” where photographers can converge and take beautiful pictures of manmade structures, it would solve a lot of problems and create new opportunities.
With state of the art technology, amateur and professional photographers share their pictures online.
And when someone “googles” Malaysia, the images of these landmarks will appear on the computer screen and this will attract more people to come and visit our country – more revenue for the Malaysia.
And the “vantage point” can also be a trendy café for people to hang out or to meet up – a good business opportunity.
For someone who loves taking pictures, let me tell you where is the best place to take a nice picture of the Kuala Lumpur skyline.
No… no longer the “Look Out Point” near Ampang because the haze will not make your photo look good.If you can get someone to drive your car, go on AKLEH, and you will get a beautiful picture of the Kuala Lumpur skyline.
But taking pictures on a moving vehicle is not such a great idea.
So will someone come up with a chain of vantage points (read: café/restaurants) for photographers to take pictures of beautiful buildings?
