    What do the following things mean?

    But I always get such good responses here! Google is like my left-hand now. Asking photography questions right here on the forum just seems natural.

    Alright, I'll do it the hard way...punk.

    Just think of the sense of self satisfaction you will have after looking it up yourself

    One more term for you to look up.
    I can honestly say that there are two most remarkable men in the world today. Michio Kaku is one, and I am the other. Between us we cover all knowledge.

    Kaku knows all that can be known....And I know the rest.

    I think is is generally expected that you would first research those terms yourself ... then ask us for clarification by stating what specific things are not understood.

    ie "I googled Mirror-Lock-Up but do not really understand the part about ..."

    We do get tired of posters that do not even bother attempted to find their own answer first.

    The best photographs make it look like the "photography" is secondary.
