My New Toy, the Nokia N8

Sorry, this shot was taken by my Nokia C2-00

Ever since my Nokia N82 died, I have been wondering what phone to use next as a backup camera from my Lumix and then, Nokia N8 was born. It was publicly announced last October 2010 but was able to own it only this November 2011. That was after year, it was because of my very busy schedule that I wasn't able to buy this phone immediately also, I haven't saved a lot of money to buy this last year. Right now, I am announcing this because I want you all to expect that some of my new shots here at Ang Maniniyot are from my Nokia N8 phone. Wiwo! ☺

New Maniniyot Face! New Banner!

I just got a new banner for my Ang Maniniyot blog. I really wanted a real banner since the day this blog was born but wasn’t able to create one because I don’t do well in Photoshop. Until I met a friend •Gboy•, a fellow Bisdak in Symbianize, who’s willing to help people who are in need of Forum signatures or website banners. I asked him to create a website banner for me and gave him the specifications of a banner that I want and after a few minutes, everything is all set. My banner is already done after a few edits in Photoshop. I tried the banner in my blog and checked if everything seems fine and I think it’s cool. I just got a problem with this new banner because when I checked Mozilla Firefox, the border shows up and also in Internet Explorer but in Google Chrome, everything seems fine. I tried to check for the CSS Code but to no avail, I could not find it. I just hope somebody can be able to help me out fix this one for me. Anyway, I just want to thank •Gboy• for making this blog more presentable.

Once Upon A Time

Aight, so let me tell you all something about my blog. I started this Photoblog October of 2008. Before “Ang Maniniyot”, there was “The Maniniyot” blog. The old blog is still active actually because I didn’t delete the account yet but I am actually planning to do so. I don’t really know what got me into this idea of creating a whole new Photoblog but I just did it in an instant. What happened actually was that I was trying to change the template of “The Maniniyot” blog to something else but was really tired of editing the HTML codes so my brilliant mind told me to just create a whole new Photoblog and now we have, “Ang Maniniyot”. Nothing has changed actually; some of the contents in this blog came from my old Photoblog. Maybe the major changes are the Photoblog Name and the template. So now, what I’m planning to do is to disable the “The Maniniyot” blog or put a javascript code that will redirect that blog to “Ang Maniniyot”.


P.S. Thanks for reading, I just don't really know what to write but I do really have this urge to write at this very moment. ☺

Why Maniniyot? What is Maniniyot?

I was asked by one of my friend if why did I use the word Maniniyot as a blog title. I told her that I don't see any problem in using the word Maniniyot as a blog title. To those who doesn't know what Maniniyot means is, its the Bisaya word for Photographer. Bisaya is one of the widely used dialect in the Philippines. I know it sounds funny and sounds obscene but I think that's just the way it is. I like the word itself. At first you wouldn't think that its a PhotoBlog and I like my blog to be that way. I hope that you will continue patronizing my blog and please, provide some feedbacks so that I will know what are my weaknesses and my assets. Thank you for the visit and I hope you come back soon. If you want to exchange links with me, just send me an email thru my contact form and I will reply to you as soon as possible.

About

Hi, my name is Boffill Bernardes, owner of http://www.boffillbernardes.com/ and the http://angmaniniyot.blogspot.com/ blog. That's me in the corner! I created this blog because I have a passion in art. I think it does really run in the blood. Anyway, regarding this blog, I just want to set your expectation that I am not a professional photographer and I'm still on the process of learning it. I have just created this blog to showcase my talent though I know I'm not really good at it. Also, I don't own an SLR camera. I'm only using my camera phone N82 and a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30. I just hope that ya'll like some of my shots and please, do give me some feedbacks about it. I would really appreciate those because I know I will learn a lot from you guys. I promise that I will keep this blog updated in the best way that I can. I travel a lot before but unfortunately, I don't have a camera during those days. That's too bad for me but this time, I will always make sure that I can be able to take picture almost everyday. I have friends who wants my pictures to be in their projects like a book cover or a video proposal and they ask me if I would allow them to use my pictures. Of course I do allow them as long as they would give credit to me. It is important for me getting credits to the works I've done and if you would want to use my picture too, please, feel free to approach me or send me an email at boffill@gmail.com.
Thank you all for your visit and I hope you guys like my work.
