Meaning of initials--ie LOL=laugh out loud and others

[belladoja]

This might have been covered sometime earlier--I looked and didn't see anything--But all these initials (I am sure there is a better name for this) like DOF= Depth of Field, OOF = out of focus and I see so many more. Can someone clue me in or lead me to some guide that explains them all--I see them on flickr and in other postings as well. This weeks Weekly Assignment uses SOOC and I have no idea what is being talked about. Thanks

SOOC = straight out of camera

I thought there was a list somewhere, but I guess not.

Use this http://www.wonderfulphotos.com/artic...eras/acronyms/ although it actually doesnt have the SOOC one

That is a great list! Thanks much!

What about the conversation ones that have little to do with the photography--but with things like LOL and someother one I have seen with LOL in it. Any ideas? It is almost like another language.

Other acronyms you might see online (mainly in chat rooms if not here)

rofl = rolling on the floor laughing
brb = be right back
wb = welcome back
ty = thank you

It took me a little while to work out what SOOC meant!

Very nice! Iam in a school where every kids has a laptop given him/her by the district and we have smart boards all over and are very hi-tech and I plumb forgot about the internet. Go figure! Thanks so much!
