Photography in Kuala Lumpur

I you like macros you might also try FRIM (forest research institute malaysia) which is not far from Batu Caves. www.frim.gov.my. There are canopy walks and many local photographers go there for insect macros - butterflies, dragonflies, ants etc

ooo...good tip...thanks THL

Apologies leggova, there's no canopy walk in frim. confused that with some other jungle place

Isn't there a nice chinese temple with a beautiful view just across the whole city..I rember that i shot some really nice pictures in 2004...

Also worth visiting is new new eye on malaysia skywheel that should offer great view across the city...And to take photographs of the twin towers I recommend the Rooftop Bar @ traders hotel

Hi

I found Putrajaya to be quite picturesque :-) As the others have mentioned you can get some nice views of the stunning Petronas twin towers from the park right next to it. I had the pleasure of working in one of the towers for a couple of weeks last year and the view from the office was amazing. Here is my KL trip report with pictures. Maybe that can give you some ideas to start with :-) Get in touch if you have any questions :-)

Thanks so much for all the help. I think I will definitely go to Putrajaya. If I go to the caves one day and that other mosque out of KL...which is the closest to Putrajaya if I want to do them on the same day?

Great trip report Gard!

Hi

Check out this Google map of KL that I have made. If you zoom out you will see where Putrajaya is :-)

ooo..thanks Gard...so basically the complete other side from the cave....what about the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Mosque...so that anywhere near Putrajaya at all?

Also, I hear bad things about taxi in KL...are they really so unpredicatable? I heard it is difficult to get them to turn their meters on.

Thean Hou Temple. About a 30-minute walk from KL Sentral, or you can just take a taxi.

Hi

Yes, I have had some experience with taxi drivers that don't want to drive me, drivers that want to overcharge, don't want to use the meter etc. I guess you just have to move on or in worst case agree on a fixed price.
