History: camera obscura

Source of version: 1 (current)

''manku kacma''? ''manku kumfa''? The words mean literally "dark room", but although a darkroom is a dark room, it is not a camera obscura. -- ''kacma'': x1 is a camera/photographic equipment recording illumination type x2 images to media x3 A camera obscura is a camera which, by direct optical means, displays its image rather than recording it. One translation is ''kacma fi noda'' (though some people might suppose you'd left your film at home). *That should be ''kacma fi zi'o''; anything (such as a tree) which has nothing to record images on ''kacma fi noda''. --((Pierre Abbat|phma)) ** The ((discussion of kacma fi noda)) became somewhat extended. * The ''((lujvo))'' for ''kacma fi zi'o'' is ''zilcibykacma'' We don't need to make up Lojban words to exactly match English words. A camera obscura where you walk in and the image is projected on a wall could be a ''kumfa kacma'' "room camera" or a ''kacma je kumfa'' "camera and room". The kind used by artists to help in sketching could be a "drawing aid", and so on. There are many ways to say any given thing; choose one that says what you want. ''mi'e ((jezrax))''
