ever feel like we are talking a foreign language in this forum? :joker: oof, bokeh, ap, random decimal numbers (1.4, 2.8, 5.6) and we all follow along like it's nothing weird?

:D

maybe it's the beer but it occurred to me how funny it is...the language we speak.

:D I was thinking this as I read the replies in my thread and it made me grin because I understand most of it these days and that totally excites me :D

I've spoken my own languages in the sewing forum and on my doula egroups, but I've now broken into the photography group.....mwahahaha!

However I did want you to clarify what 'bokeh' means please :)

bokeh = the great background blur you were speaking of with the wider aps.

What its not a fancy acrynom (sp?)? I figured thats what it meant (due to context) but couldn't see the connection. So now to continue my vocabulary lesson, what is the pronounciation of bokeh? Long or short o sound?

Speaking of fun drinks of the evening (oh lady with the beer), by 2 yr old just refilled my water bottle. I'm glad I looked in it first because its cloudiness caused me to smell the contents. Come to find out he got into the refridgerator and filled my water bottle with the big bottle of lemon juice from the condiment shelf :lol:
