Hi there!
hello!
I always wanted to explain my behind the blog title story at one point on my page, but hesitated. I guess I love to leave people scratching their heads or give me the ‘what is she talking about’ response. 🙂 Any who, I am loving your blog already. And don’t even get me started with mangoes. 🙂
i felt the same way.…till i couldnt think of anything else to write!!
thank you kindly from one mango-lover to another :~)
Some serious wicked photos there, I are jealous!
dont be…and thank you so much!!
Hey! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Your pictures are AMAZING!

I am amazed at your photography…I put you on my inspiration list 🙂

thank you so much :~o)
You make me want to take more photos and become a better photographer. Thank you for your wonderful blog.
awwww you are too kind!! thank you :~D)
I am glad its motivating you…
Cool pictures… What kind of lenses do you use for your photos? and what kind of post processing do you do?
thanks a bunch 😉
thank you so much!!
i have been using a 50mm f/1.8 for all the photos on my blog
such a versatile and inexpensive lens!!
believe it or not, i have been using dpp (digital photo professional)
canon’s basic photo editing software that came with the camera!!
let me know if you have more specific post-processing questions…
Thanks for your answer 😉
Been thinking about getting a 50 or 35mm… when I’ve got the money mabe.
Keep up the great work 😀
you are very welcome :~))
i would LOVE to get my hands on the 35mm…
thanks again!!

Haha funny shenanigans just adds something to most words, I have the same with Hernandez it makes things sound big like “the big Hernandez show”
by the way I also love food that explains when i named my blog after my favorite food french fries, and you’re so right who doesn’t love mango fruit? They are yummy
just the thought of french fries makes me happy ;~))

Thanks for liking my blog on hummingbirds! Photography is one of my favorite things. Birds are too. Mangoes, for me, were an acquired taste but I like ’em now, too. Had a bad experience with my first. It was stringy and tasted like turpentine. It was a while before I tried them again. There are so many varieties. There’s a Trinidad song that lists some of the best ones: It starts: “I want a penny to buy mango long, mango sweet; gimme a penny to buy mango long, mango sweet…”
all mangoes are not created equal!!
some taste better than others…very brave of you
after your 1st experience to give them another try!
now i need to find that song…lol
thank you ;~D

Thanks for checking out my blog! I love your pictures – I’m slowly trying to better my food photography. I love the way your pictures are focused close up and fuzzy in the background. I still can’t get that right!
the blur (bokeh) results from:

Thanks for stopping by my blog! (www.lettuceneversquashourlove.wordpress.com) Your photos are beautiful and I am a huge fan of randomness 🙂
you are welcome…
thank you so much!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog – this posting was the most photos I’ve ever put up. Usually I’m more text-heavy but, sometimes, photos just say it all…as you clearly know:) Still exploring, and enjoying, yours.
i LOVE photos, obviously…
thank you so much!!
Thanks for dropping in on my blog 🙂
You have an interesting and very eclectic mix of images here whilst managing to keep an identifiable style – great stuff. I assume the smartphone shots have some sort of apps applied to them? I haven’t got one and don’t really know what they’re capable of! Do you do much processing with your DSLR work? Sorry about the questions – I’m interested in how people develop and produce they’re ‘signature’ look.
i love questions…like yours!
my posts with smartphone shots were edited using a photo app from my phone..
as for my dslr shots, i use photoshop cs5 for post-processing but not a whole lot; i prefer a more natural-look to my photos…as little distortion as i can manage lol
as for ‘signature’ look, to be honest, i cannot confidently say that i have developed one distinctively…but i know that it comes with growth (comfort with lens/equipement/post-processing techniques) and your eye (individual/unique)
sorry for the long response but i do hope i answered your questions!!
Thank you. I too prefer a more natural look …… plus I don’t want to spend too much time trapped at my computer 🙂 I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by my blog…much appreciated!
Your stuff here is great! I am toying with the idea of getting a smartphone with a half decent camera..I only have about 5 Point and Shoots…lol
its seems i either take shots on my handy smartphone or on my bulky dslr…havent used my point shoot in eons lol
thank you!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to look at my work.
Best,
Steve

Exquisitely dazzling. I am simply enchanted by the beauty that unfolds within your lens. I am so happy you liked my poem at http://reowr.wordpress.com/2013/05/18/midnight-bliss/. Thank you for sharing your captivating art.
awww…thank you for the really kind and thoughtful comment!!!
Beautiful blog! When mine grows up, it’ll be just like yours!

Thanks, Mango, for coming by my site, http://www.englishmanual.wordpress.com. Photography is definitely one of your strengths! All the best. Merridy
i feel like theres so much i don’t know about photography…but comments like yours really boost my confidence and keep me going!!
so thank you kindly
Very nice photos,looks forward to seeing more.
thank you kindly…see you soon!
Thank you so much for liking my page! You do well with flowers, but try to be careful with overexposing your subjects to too much light…it really diffuses the details of the pictures. This seems to happen sometimes when you take pictures of food. Working with natural light can be very tricky…time of day is everything. But keep going!
Thank you for dropping by my blog.
and thank you too!!
Thanks so much for visiting my blog! Learning how to take close up pictures of food is an ongoing process for me (I’m better at the cooking part).
i wish i was better at cooking *sigh*
just keep at it, it gets better with practice!
thank you!!
bravo on the funniest coolest name for a website
i think so too lol
thank you so much!!
Thanks for stopping by. Love your photos and will follow.
Love coffee in the a.m., tea in the p.m. Love beer and wine, depends on the evening. Fav activities are the same as yours. Your blog title is great. Mine worked at the time, had to do with writing and letting stuff out.
i also really like my blog title lol
thank you so much for telling me a little about yourself…i will do the same in your blog…soonest!!
let me know if you plan to exhibit your works 😉 that would be fun 😀
well, haven’t thought about that seriously…but thank you!!
Thanks for checking out my blog!
sure…and thank you!!
Hello and thank you for stopping by my little corner of the world and giving me the opportunity of getting to discover your photography. Wow, really amazing.

Thank you and see you soon with both our worlds collide again 🙂
