First day in Kuala Lumpur - Petronas Towers

Hi all

Apologies I've not posted much for a while - I plan to post more over the coming weeks.

Today I arrived in KL and I am staying near the Petronas Towers.

The first shot is the typical one - taken from the hotel 'SkyBar'. With the second I went for a quirkier angle - I was more interested in the geometry than the colour so I converted to black and white in Silver Efex.

Trolleys

I like to look for repeating patterns - sometimes the subject might appear pedestrian but the shapes it makes are interesting. In this case I filled the screen with a close up of some trolleys. I liked the way the pattern repeats into the distance as it slides out of focus.

To get the effect I used a wide aperture and focussed on the second trolley in. Unfortunately, this also meant that part of a sign lower down was also in focus (as it was the same distance from the lens) so I cropped this out of the shot.
