Talk:Camera obscura
From Academic Kids
Since the correct italian spelling is Camera oscura (without b), I'd redirect it to the correct spelling, unless in english it is used instead with the current spelling. In this case I'd add a redirect from Camera oscura. --Gianfranco
"Camera obscura" is correct in English. It's Latin, not Italian. --Zundark, Tuesday, April 9, 2002
There are two other famous Camera obscuras - one in Wales and one in Santa Monica, California. And in the movie - A Matter of Life and Death (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0038733/) Middle Street, Shere, Surrey, England, UK is the village seen through camera obscura.
Wasn't there some consperacy theory that the old masters used these to make their paintings?
- Yes, see David Hockney. It needs adding to this article. Justinc 22:28, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Strange, the main page has the incorrect spelling "Camera Onscura" but when I go to the edit section the correct "Camera obscura" is listed...oh well. I guess I can't change it. - John
(Apparenly someone was editing at that exact moment, the 1st in some time. What a coincidence)
