Apparently in photojournalism circles, anyone who holds their finger  
on the shutter release taking a rapid sequence of shots is said to be  
"Hosing the Doris". This got me thinking about other expressions or  
sayings that could apply to our club or photography in general. I  
came up with a few:

<i>to photoshop</i> - to modify an image or create a new image from  
several originals. i.e. by removing power lines or adding an antelope  
into your Clifton Downs picture.
e.g. "That bridge doesn't belong there, that's been photoshopped.


<i>to case</i> - to increase the colour saturation of a photograph to  
artificially high levels. i.e. making grass luminous green.
e.g. "Put on your sunglasses, this one's been cased".


<i>to ruck</i> - to do exceedingly well in a club competition. i.e.  
win first, second and third in any category.
e.g. "He done really well in the black and white category, he rucked  
the lot".


Can you improve on these. The prize for the best is free entry to  
Slimbridge on February 2nd.
