2013 have been a great year for me as a passionate landscape photographer. To be able to capture some of the most beautiful landscape at its best time is really inspiring me to keep on going. So here I am, sharing some of my best catch photos of landscape and seascape throughout 2013. I really hope you guys enjoy visiting my website and I appreciate so much if you do! So enough with the talking, let’s welcome 2014!

In landscape photography, weather is one of the most frustrating aspects it doesn’t even have to come down to rain or shine, but just a small amount of clouds in the right place at the right time of day can make for an amazing sunset and then those same clouds in the wrong place at that very same moment can make for a complete non-sunset.
In this case, the clouds was at the wrong place! Well, that’s one of the risk in landscape photography. Sometimes it turns out good, sometimes not. You just have to take the risk!

Assalamualaikum and good day everyone! It’s been a while since my last blog post. Been very busy with work and living life to the fullest! Anyway, I just got back from Terengganu last weekend. Before going, I have checked the weather forecast and it says on both day is raining with thunderstorm. I decided why not I try my luck and headed to Terengganu with a friend of mine, Syafiqjay. Our first pit stop for sunrise hunting is at the beach near Kemaman. The session was joined by another three photographers, Mr Kamrul, Mr Syam & Mr Fahmi. But luck was not on our side as it was raining all the time and the sky is totally washed out. So we decided to call it a day and go for breakfast. After that, it was raining all the way from morning until the night.
On the next morning, I woke up around 5.30 and texted Fahmi to try my luck again. Alhamdulillah, the weather was great that morning but it was really windy. We decided to go to Tanjung Jara beach at Dungun for sunrise hunting. We had to walked about 10 minutes along the beach to get to the rocky spot at the shoreline. I was like running to get there when I saw the beautiful sunrise starting to appear from the horizon! All praises to the Almighty Allah SWT, it turns out the sunrise that morning was truly amazing. I managed to get the shot that I want and here’s the first one. I present to you, the Arise of Tanjung Jara!
Hope you guys like it and feel free to share! If you have time, do like my photography page Fakrul Jamil Photography. Thanks in advance for your warm support on my work. 🙂

Assalamualaikum and very good morning everyone! Yesterday while I was on my way back to my hometown Kedah, I drop by at Penang to hunt for some sunset at Teluk Bayu. Last time I was here is in February 2011, it’s like 2 years back and this is my second time here thanks to Bangpit a.k.a Raytec Crew for taking me to this place. I wouldn’t be here if I was alone because I couldn’t remember the route! 😛 Also met some new friends there because they were also shooting the sunset at the same spot.
The magic colors did not appear yesterday because the sun was hidden behind the thick clouds as it reach the horizon. Only some of it’s yellow-orange colors and thanks to Singh-Ray reverse grad, it add some spice to the shot because of it’s cast. But one thing I was lucky because the tide is rising and I manage to catch some of the waves motion by using the 3 Stop Lee Pro Glass ND.
Hope you guys like the shot, happy holiday!

Assalamualaikum and happy Sunday everyone. Here come another shot from Kelanang amazing sunset on few weeks back. This one taken a few minutes after the previous shot.

Peace be upon all of you, good evening and salam jumuah mubarokah. Here is my next photo from last weekend amazing sunset at Pantai Kelanang, Banting and its in landscape mode which mean wider view! Oh yes, another big fallen dead trees as the foreground interest, because I try to make it different. Before this, I always wanted a clean and neat compo for my shot, but that day I just decided to try something new and here’s the result!
I was lucky to get the right timing of the tide. It was rising but not that fast and thanks to Lee filter Pro Glass ND 3 stop, I was able to get the smoothness in the water part. The beautiful sunset colors was starting to appear at this time and it was really magical! I was like keep on saying alhamdulillah, thank you Allah for giving me this magnificent sunset on that evening, syukur! 🙂
Some info about the photo, a single RAW shot taken with Singh-Ray 3 stop reverse grad and lee 3 stop pro glass nd. Shot was processed in Canon Digital Professional for the raw file, then the file transferred into photoshop. In photoshop I increase the brightness on the tree part, because it was a bit dark on the original file. Other than that, basic enhancement as always to make the picture look more alive. 🙂
I hope you guys like this shot as much as I do! Feel free to hit the share button 🙂

Assalamualaikum and good evening everyone. Last Sunday went to Pantai Kelanang again for sunset hunting with my usual partner in crime, Shazral. The weather has been great since morning and that tells me it going to be a great sunset. Guess what, my instinct is right! It’s was totally a ‘boom’ sunset! The amazing colors come out right after the sun has fully set. Alhamdulillah, finally I managed to get a beautiful sunset shot at Pantai Kelanang. Thank you Allah for blessing us with this magnificent sunset!
This is a single shot taken with Singh-Ray 3 stop reverse graduated neutral density filter along with Lee 3 stop pro glass neutral density filter.

Assalamualaikum and good evening everyone! Another shot from my Terengganu short visit. It was taken earlier then ‘Earth Meets Ocean‘ shot. It takes me few attempt to get the perfect movement of the waves falling down from the rock. I got hit the waves few times but luckily my entry level camera was covered by the 4×6 neutral density graduated filter! Sometimes you just got to get wet to get the perfect shot!
Have a lovely weekend my friends 🙂

Assalamualaikum and good day everyone! Finally, my dream to shoot at one of the most famous spot for seascape photographers in Malaysia has come true! I was there shooting for the sunrise, but it was not a glorious one. I was so excited to be here! Many thanks to Syam Yatini, a friend of mine from Facebook for bringing me along to Pantai Pandak! Much appreciate bro! 🙂
