Kluang, M'sia Road Trip via KTM Rail

[Royale With Cheese]

Took a weekend road trip down to Kluang, Malaysia with Thomas & Melvin to explore & shoot the area.

Our mode of transport was the KTM train, which would soon seize its operations in Singapore.

Caught the early morning trip which took about 2 hours plus to get to Kluang. It was actually my first time on the KTM train! The train was rather old, run down, dodgy looking but it is full of character, just like the Tanjong Pagar KTM station. They've got a certain rustic charm on them.

These are the pictures I took along the way on the train & while exploring the quiet sleepy down of Kluang.

Hopefully, I would be able to go all the way down to Penang via the KTM train before it closes!

Gear used:

Leica M2
Canon 35mm F2 LTM
Ilford HP5+
HC-110B, 5 mins.

Hey just want ask :

1. did you stay over at Kluang or just a day trip?
2. I have never been to Kluang and any nice photo opportunities at Kluang town?

Ya, I think I must also bring the family on KTM train before it stops operations!

Not sure why the original Kluang thread was closed by the admins. :dunno:

Anyways...sharing some squares...train was late and the ticket counter was closed so HOC & I ventured out to shoot some more. It was blazing hot. I think the apertures we used was somewhere between F8 - F16.
