New photography TERMS to coin? Post 'em up.

There are words like bokeh.

I think we need some NEW words.

Example:
Term: b-stop (blame stop)
Def: The degree to which you're blaming your lens for OOF shots

Veterans must have terms MUCH better than that one in their archives.

Post 'em up!?

Term: Pulling a LightRules
Def: Self-explanatory

Term: F-spot
Def: Aperture sweet spot

Term: LR-stop
Def: The number of mistakes you make before you stop and read the manual

Am I the only one that thinks "Bokeh" sounds like a silly, made up word? It just bugs me. When people say it it sounds to me like they are speaking one of those "made for internet" words like "rofl" or "pwned".

Na, it's a real Japanese word meaning blurry. It's been around for quite some time.

it doesn't really mean blurry, more like "out of it" when looking at a Japanese comedy context. Probably some wapanese that coined that into photography

Sam and Perry are going down...big time.

Letting LightRules little burst slide...

Term: Crap!
Definition: The camera really screwed up this shot!
Real Definition: I really screwed up this shot!

Mulligan or Gimme
Def: when a model/subject is so photogenically attractive, you have to be blind and stupid to stuff the shot up.

Mulligan is a free do over, gimme sounds good though.

Term: CLP
Definition: Craigslist Photographer

The Craigslist Photographer is the bottom of the barrel/low end when it comes to professional photography. These folks are usually the shot and burn for a few hundred dollars crowd. Within the past year or two they got their first digital SLR and they just decided they want to do weddings. By the time they get enough experience and develop the talent to charge more than a few hundred dollars, they realize the damage they've done. That is, they've priced themselves into the low end and helped to bring the overall market down in their area.

Term: MSC
Def: Micro Stock Contributor

Very similar to the CLP definition above, except even more pathetic. Someone who works for dimes.

Term: Canoned
Def: To execute a capture with precision.
Example: "Wow! Great image! You really canoned that one!"

Thought it might go well with this forum.

Term: Within specification

Definition: Still not right--but we're not replacing it!

Example: See also Customer Service
