in the darkroom/using traditional methods Explanation: I am puzzled by what seems to be a contrast between "darkroom" and "traditional". I would expect something more like the following contrast between traditional and digital printing: "Ces photographies sont généralement faites en argentique puis tirées soit en traditionnel soit en numérique." www.galerie-photo.com/revue_de_presse.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-05-21 19:53:40 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Note: I was typing this while Lise was posting her reply - thus the duplication. |

plates or film Explanation: Looks like this is a choice between two photographic techniques. In English, we usually make a distinction between the two media on which the negatives are shot, rather than the apparatus used to shoot them. Here is a discussion in French of "Photographic chamber"--the kind of camera used to take pictures on plates, found in Termium: Subject Field(s) – Photography Subject Field(s) – Photographie photographic chamber Source CORRECT chambre technique Source CORRECT, FEM chambre photographique Source FEM DEF – Appareil photographique à soufflet et à verre dépoli, caractérisé par ses possibilités de bascule et de décentrement des corps avant et arrière, et généralement construit d'après le principe du banc optique [...] La chambre technique est particulièrement utile dans les cas suivants: Prises de vues de sujets présentant des lignes verticales devant rester parallèles (par exemple photographie d'architecture). Source OBS – Certains fabricants ont tenté de construire une chambre technique portative (utilisable sans trépied) pour des prises de vue de sujets en mouvement. Cette construction implique nécessairement un compromis: il n'existe pas d'appareil qui puisse satisfaire à toutes les exigences. Source OBS – Le mot chambre vient du mot latin «camera» qui est utilisé pour nommer l'appareil photographique. On réserve maintemant cette appellation pour les appareils photographiques grand-format.
