Default Acronyms used on this forum??

I'm new around here, and I keep seeing acronyms I'm not familiar with.

The main one is TFS. I'm guessing maybe "tightly focused/framed shot"? I dunno, but it's obviously a compliment to posted photos.

I tried finding examples of one or two other acronyms, but can't find them now... So if any come to mind, feel free to throw them out there.

Thanks!

TFS = thanks for sharing

Others might include:

DOF = depth of field
IS = image stabilization
OIS = optical image stabilization (built into the lens) as opposed to
DIS = digital image stabilization (some software on the camera that tries to remove shake)
ND = neutral density, a filter that stops some light without altering the color
GND = graduated neutral density, a filter such as the one above, only it goes from dark to light

Ah yes, SOOC and OOF were the ones I couldn't find again.

Awesome, thanks everyone!
