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.

Colored Pencil

I saw my cousin playing with her coloring book and got attracted to this coloring pencils. I like its neon colors. I arranged them and them and took a shot. Unfortunately, my N82's focus is not on the nearest side maybe because of its AF. N82's AF might not be able to handle very near focus. Well, I still like this shot though.

Chess Board


I was at my cousin's house in Tanza, Cavite when I saw this display somewhere near the window. Grabbed my phone and took a snapshot of this chess board. I like its simplicity and I hope you like it too.

Rizal Park

Me and my cousin paid visit to one of our Aunt in Rizal Province one day. My Aunt ask us if we would want to go visit the National Museum. Due to curiosity, I agreed to the plan and we went there one sunny afternoon. After the tour at the Museum, we went to the nearby park, the Luneta Park. At first, it wasn't really a good idea for me since I don't really like going there. But for the sake of not spoiling the day, I oblige to my Aunt's decision to go there. Well, it wasn't really bad at all. You see people having picnics and kids playing. Some are flying kites and tourists are taking pictures here and there. I took this photo at the right corner of the park. We were standing there because it started raining. From a sunny afternoon to a rainy afternoon, the weather shifted so fast. I had a great time with my family though. That's the sense of going to the Luneta Park, spending a quality time with your family.

Boat Ride at La Mesa EcoPark

Last year, when I was still working at a call center in Makati, I had a friend who happens to be a music player too. Until we discovered that some of our team mates plays musical instruments too. We had a retro party at the office and we were ask to play there. We played old school music with all the costumes. Since both of my team mates are better than me when it comes to guitar, I played the beat box during the entire performance. After we played at the office, we were ask by one of our friend's friend to play at their wedding reception. It was really fast and we don't have enough time to practice. The wedding reception was held at the La Mesa EcoPark. While waiting for the wedding to finish, we decided to roam around and see what is up with La Mesa EcoPark. While exploring the whole park, we saw this boat rides and I got attracted to the boats that are parked at the side of the lagoon. Its just a simple shot. The original photo was actually a panorama of the lagoon but I decided to crop it and only show this parked boats.

Tinago Falls

This is the Tinago Falls of Naval, Biliran province. I went to Naval 2 years ago to attend my cousin's debut party. After the debut party, I decided to stay there for how a month or so. Since its summer, me and my cousins were able to spend quality time together. One day, we planned of going cross country to go to Tinago Falls. At first I thought its near the town proper of Naval but when we were travelling, its like we arrived at the venue after 2 hours. Maybe the rough road caused it. Naval, Biliran province is considered an undiscovered paradise. It has a lot of beautiful beaches and also waterfalls. I've seen Rice Terraces for the first time that I thought I can only see in Benguet Province. Biliran is really rich in natural resources and I hope people would take good care of it. I think Biliran province can compete to Iligan's falls because Biliran does have a lot of waterfalls available for the tourist. My only wish is that Naval will be developed soon by the Government.

Gate Lamp

This gate lamp was taken from my Aunt's house in Rizal Province. I never really had any idea how to capture it in its correct angle. But yet again, I got this result and I think this one is beautiful. Maybe my amazement to lights indulge me in taking this picture.

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.
