elina Posted September 23, 2005 at 09:48 AM Report Posted September 23, 2005 at 09:48 AM I think it should be 照片 / zhào piān Quote
HashiriKata Posted September 23, 2005 at 10:06 AM Report Posted September 23, 2005 at 10:06 AM zhào piàn, zhào piān (and also zhào piānr ) are all acceptable. Quote

in_lab Posted September 24, 2005 at 03:59 PM Report Posted September 24, 2005 at 03:59 PM I saw this the other day in a picture from Singapore: 撮影 Does 撮影 = 攝影 ? Quote
zhiaimao Posted September 24, 2005 at 06:58 PM Author Report Posted September 24, 2005 at 06:58 PM Thanks everyone. You been very helpful. I got further questions: 1. What is the difference between these 3?: zhao pian, tu pian, tu xiang 2. When do I use the 3 above? Quote
Yuchi Posted September 24, 2005 at 07:53 PM Report Posted September 24, 2005 at 07:53 PM no, 攝 = 摄 I have never heard 撮影 being used orally, but google says it's japanese for photographing. Quote
in_lab Posted September 26, 2005 at 02:45 AM Report Posted September 26, 2005 at 02:45 AM I googled 撮影 and came up with a bunch of hits for Chinese sites. I guess it must come from Japanese. Quote
zhiaimao Posted October 4, 2005 at 03:03 PM Author Report Posted October 4, 2005 at 03:03 PM Sorry if I am double posting. I am not sure if there is a bug in this thread or the scanning thing is still in effect inside this thread. My messages are showing in other threads but not this one. Here goes, testing: 1. What is the difference between these 3?: zhao pian, tu pian, tu xiang 2. When do I use the 3 above? Quote
Quest Posted October 5, 2005 at 12:31 AM Report Posted October 5, 2005 at 12:31 AM 1. What is the difference between these 3?: zhao pian, tu pian, tu xiang zhao pian: pictures taken with a camera, usually with people in them tu pian: printed pictures of sceneries, objects, designs etc. tu xiang: images on a screen Quote
