Sorry it took so damn long, but I finally got around to sorting through the photos of my trip. Well, sort of... I at least went through all of them and sorted out the ones that I wanted to upload and share with everyone, which is good enough haha... Most of these were taking during our family vacation to Malaysia. We spent a day in Kuala Lumpur, did the city tour in a day. It was pretty crazy, felt like we were on the Amazing Race or something. Then we went to this island paradise and stayed at this ridiculous resort there... Anyway, enjoy.

Potter.



Orange Pineapple Anyone?



Yep, that horse is wearing a bracelet.



Red Palms. You see these all over in Malaysia, don't they look awesome?



Fuck you, I am a dragon! Haha! This is carved on some column in a Chinese temple in Kuala Lumpur...



Kuala Lumpur Architecture, awesome. Unfinished Bridge.



This bridge is awesome! ^^



I can't remember what this building was, but I think it was the senate building.



Crossing the river.

A fucking giant gold statue, seriously, that thing was huge. Stairs go up to a temple/ shrine thing up a cave in the cliffs. That climb was a bitch, but it was worth it!



Part of the temple/ shrine thing on the inside of the caves. Long exposure obviously.



View of the Petronas Towers and Kuala Lumpur city, from up above inside the KL Tower viewing area. Shot through a window ^^ No joke, you could see the giant gold statue from this spot, looking in a different direction ofc.



Petronas Towers, at night. Photo does not do these things justice. They were amazing.



Again, Petronas Towers. Shot from the ground looking up, didn't even look through the viewfinder, just set the camera down and clicked the shutter. It was earth hour that night, and they were shutting down the city lights for an hour. I got this shot literally seconds before they turned off the tower lights. It was pretty awesome, they shut the lights off from top to bottom, neat to watch. Then once they were all turned off everyone started cheering.



Here is the fancy resort we stayed at. Laguna Redang Resort. Place was a shit hole ^^ I hardly took photos while I was here, I was too busy playing in the ocean and enjoying my vacation at that point to give a damn about photos. All I got were "I was here" type shots.



A piece of coral I found on the beach shaped like a heart. I totally snuck this home and gave it to my girlfriend, how sweet of me. Could of got myself a $5,000 fine, oh the things I do...

Cool shots!
I really like the ones of the Petronas towers and that "f*cking giant gold statue" shot :D
I just wish you have used a shorter focal length for the night shots and wish you have some night time street shots :p

I was using my 35-70mm for those, all shot at 35. I didn't have anything else at the time. I remember texting my girlfriend just to tell her how much I needed her 14-24mm at that moment. I really didn't have the time to sit and do night time street photography. Like I said we were only in Kuala Lumpur for the one day and night. After shooting the towers we went to a Chinese night/ black market, which I didn't take my camera to because I didn't want anything to be stolen. I really wish I had more time there, Kuala Lumpur is an awesome place. I could have easily spent a week shooting that city. I think the guide was telling us that there were like over 400 stairs... When we first started up them, I decided I would try to run them just to get it over with faster... Haha, that was a mistake. Then when we were on our way back down, the only thing I could really think of; was how much I wanted a slinky ^^

Wow those pictures are awesome! That place is really nice and very beautiful, and a lot of amazing architecture to go with it! I am so jealous! I would love to go there someday, especially that amazing huge cave. That picture you took inside that cave is my favorite.
