Hi all!

new member from BC.

i did a quick search, but have to admit i am rotten on searches.

is there a thread on this forum that lists all the abbreviations/Terminol​ogy used, and their meanings?

i am finding it hard to understand sometimes what experienced photogs mean when they 'talk the talk'. :)

Some examples might help us to interpret some of the mysterious abbreviations you are having troubles with.
