Okay, in the previous three pages
were examples of how to shoot subject matters showing their sizes in relation to
their surroundings - in foreign destinations. Now, photo enthusiasts and EOS users
alike (especially Malaysians) can also see that local sights and scenes can be given
the same touch as well. For the LRT tracks, most of the residents of the Klang Valley,
where the country's capital, Kuala Lumpur as well as townships like Petaling Jaya
and Subang Jaya are located, have seen them, but mostly from below as very few have
seen them from above (aerial view). This photo (below, top left) of the tracks was
shot from the 16th floor of an apartment building located near one of the LRT stations.

Cityscape scene shot via infinity |

The cityscape scene (above, top
right) was photographed with the lens focused at its infinity distance - an indication
of how far this scene was from where it was shot, given the strong perspective compression
generated. It also shows the difference in size of the traffic in the foreground
against the LRT station (middle) and the background buildings. By now, almost everyone
around the world already knows that the famed PetronasT Towers are the world's tallest
building, but very little is made of the fact that the accompanying Suria KLCC shopping
mall is also quite large in its size. The photo below (left) shows its size in comparison
to the group of tourists walking past it.

View alongside the Klang river |

This view above (right) was photographed
alongside the Klang River where the famed Jamek Mosque is located (middle, left side)
as well as one of the many bridges that links the capital with both sides of the
river. I came along this foreign shutterbug (below, top left) in the process of setting
up her tripod in preparation for a good angle of Kuala Lumpur's Sultan Abdul Samad
building. The colonial structure behind her is the Magistrate Court building. Another
tourist whose height (below, top right) in relation to the shop's facade, gives an
indication of how large the building is.

These back-up crew (above, lower
left) are from one of the teams that participated in the annual Proton 300 Km Merdeka
Endurance Race. Their sizes in relation to the Start/Finish banner above them give
you an idea of how large it is against the humans. In the next picture, the Canon
IXUS board at the background gives one an insight into its height is in relation
to the models parading in front.
