Worst Photographic Buzzword

[Bob Salomon]

I once heard it was Microsoft that popularized those terms applying print orientation (to the perplexity of photogs and artists). Can anyone confirm or deny that? Just curious.

I beieve it was European terminology.

But then in the USA automatic printers in labs have a Slope control. In a darkroom that is contrast.
In the USAF an enlarger is a projection printer.

The terminology that one is used to can differ with both geography and with the application.

I think I've seen that [happy snap] before in this thread. Interestingly enough for a "buzzword" candidate, it's a term I don't think I've seen until this thread, though I recently (after seeing it here - odd how that happens) saw it on another forum. Does this just refer to shooti...er, taki...er, making, many, many exposures without much thought going into them?

Er, wait, no - that was "snap happy." I've no idea what "happy snap" means then. Never heard it before!

Just to clarify ... One takes happy snaps with a happy snappy and this is said to make one snap happy, though the last is curiously absent in this `grab shot':




Kind regards,

Richard

Are happy snaps taken before or after "happy hour?"

My "happy snaps" taken during happy hour have great bokeh.........

"Noise" When refering to something you see, as opposed to something you hear.

If a tree falls in the forest and only a squirrel sees it, is that still visual noise?

Sounds like a bunch of happy bokeh to me!
