If you want to see how I made this (and how you can too!), visit my HDR Tutorial. I hope it gives you some new tricks!

I understand from my mom that Kuala Lumpur was also one of my grandfather’s favorite cities. He used to work for Exxon, back in the middle of the 20th century. It’s hard for me to imagine what it looked like back then. It’s too bad I wasn’t ever able to show him this photo to see his reaction.

KL is called one of the Asian "small tigers" because of its booming economy in the last 20 years or so. Many Asian cities are very pretty with unique architecture. Since many of them are so "new", the architecture is often much more modern than their Western counterparts. In this one, you can see the gargantuan twin Petronas towers looming high over the city, poking up into some clouds.

And how does a proper daddy light his birthday cake’s candle? With a blowtorch, of course. Happy 50th!
