Hey guy's,
I want to get really serious about photography and would like to be an amazing photographer.
So here is what i know:
POV: Point Of View
Macro: Close up focus
I know about filters,
And film photography.
I need your help,
What does ISO mean { In a simple way }
Whats the difference between Dslr and Slr { in a simple way }
Processing is editing right? =)
So if you could help me out,
Not very long comments please...
Thank you all soooooo much for all of your guys's help,
And i will be sure to follow all of you guys if i am not already.
Thanks again,
You all are the best.

ISO is the measurement of how sensitive a digital camera's sensor is to light. The speed or light-sensitivity of a digital camera's sensor is rated in ISO numbers -- the lower the number, the slower the response to light.
Higher ISO numbers indicate a higher sensitivity to light, so less time is needed to expose a picture. Most digital cameras let you control the ISO setting to allow the use of higher shutter speeds and/or smaller apertures, according to circumstances.
Many digital cameras offer high ISO settings (e.g. 1600, 2000, 3200, even up to 6400!) While this allows photos to be taken in low light, you will generally find that the higher the ISO setting, the noisier your image will -- depending on how much noise there is, it might look like your photo is covered in a layer of sand (that would mean a lot of noise).
Unless you really need to use an ISO of 1600 or more to capture your subject, I'd stick to the lower end of the spectrum -- hesitant to go higher than ISO 800.
Another one you may run across is DOF which means depth of field, indicating how much of the photo is in focus. You know those shots that have one bit in focus but everything that is closer to or further from the camera is fuzzy? That would be a shallow depth of field.
I had to read and read and re-read, but it finally all clicked. Browse amazon.com or our bookstore for some cheap books. Read them with camera in hand. It will all come together.
@lkshfjahf If you can afford them, look for books by Scott Kelby ('The Digital Photography Book', volumes 1 through 3, if not more). He's an excellent 'tipster'. A couple of his tips may even surprise you.
Leah you should join us in the Camera Setting Challenges - you will learn TONS! That is what it is all about. It is either to brushing up on skills or learn brand new ones. Camera Settings Challenge 3 just started
@lkshfjahf 1) Upload to your album, 2) copy the link halfway down on your right hand side, and 3) past link in a comment! ;-) Simple, yet it took me a couple of weeks to find out... ;-p
Tweets ahoy!

If you need nay more advice ...please ask. ;)
I have found everyone here very willing to answer any questions. The vocabulary is a lot to learn.
sooc means straight out of camera, not that that means much with cameras that can do everything in camera. It generally means nothing fancy was done.
Might want to join the rest of us beginners in the camera settings challenges. Week 2 just ended, but check them out.
