[blueberry℘twist]

Can I make a suggestion   can we have a list of abbreviations  

TIA  

[Philly Âû]

Can I ask what kind of abbreviations you are after?

Do you mean just normal forum ones?

Sorry being a little dense today

[MeLoddy]

Philly I would assume photographic ones.

Like....

SS - Shutter Speed
DOF - Depth of Field

I must be dense too this morning as they are the only ones I can think of!  

[blueberry℘twist]

SOOC - straight out of camera
PB - portfolio building
CC - constructive criticism (sp?)

and heaps more - I know what most of them mean but if this thread is for newbies then it would be very helpful  

[Philly Âû]

Okay I have added some abbreviations, let me know if there are any more you would like added

[blueberry℘twist]
