thank you so much! BU :oops:

And of course....
UH or UHH = Ugly HedgeHog
Funny Story from my "real life" job. I attended a medical conference and the lecturer asked how many doctors and nurses were in the audience. Virtually everyone raised thier hands and he said:
"Great, then we can talk in 3 initials or less all day" :thumbup:

google is your friend, also so is an introduction to photography book( available at librarys, bookstores and amazon.com) not to sound snarky, but every hobby has jargon, be it photography, model rail roads, golf, painting etc. To be a photographer instead of a snapshooter its your RESPONSABILITY to make an effort to learn your craft. part of that is to take the initiative to learn the fundamentals. I am not trying to sound mean, it is like this. give a man a fish he eats for one day teach a man how to fish he eats for the rest of his life. National Geographic makes a great series of how to intro photo books with glossaries, the dummies series of books has also a good intro book (NOT calling you a dummy by any means, its just their stupid name for their series of books.) if say you are having trouble with iso google iso. if that doesn't help feel free to post here, hey im reading about iso but don't get it.

HDR = High Density Resolution Its a combnation of in camera "bracketed" shots and processing by layering them over each other to achieve a final image.

HDR - High Dynamic Range. Here's a definition:

There are folks on UHH who are terrific at this.
Huh, didn't realize there were two different acronyms, Rocco. Am I wrong on this or are they both the same thing?
