There Sure Was a Crowd

I arrived at Pintasan Saloma well before the sunset - at around 6.30 pm. I was the first in my group to reach the bridge, but the place was already crowded by then.

Most of the better shooting locations were already occupied by rows of tripods. Those were some serious shooters there. There were also a few drones flying around near sunset to get the best angles. By the time my gang arrived, the walkway was already packed!

After my shoot at Petaling Street, I actually returned to my car - parked at KLCC - via LRT at Kampung Baru. I retook the bridge, at around 11 pm, and there were still droves of people just arriving! The road near Public Bank Tower was also jammed with people being dropped off. Ripi who parked near there I was sure will need some time to get his car out from the car park!

A popular spot now, and hopefully the charm would not wear off any time soon. If you were planning for some serious shooting, maybe it would be a better idea to come during weekdays to avoid the jam and the crowd!
