Hello Jim,
1) In French,
pinhole camera = appareil à sténopé but very often people just call the
pinhole camera "sténopé", making a shortcut between the pinhole itself
(sténopé has its origins in a Greek word "opé" meaning -hole- and close to
"ôps" meaning -eye-) and the apparatus using it (the camera).
pinhole photography : photographie au sténopé.
2) What do you mean by "natural camera" ?
If it means a " normal" camera with lens, then :
camera = appareil de photo (shortcut : "appareil" when everybody knows
that you are speaking about photography!)
3) If you are looking for various translations in all kinds of languages,
just go back and have a look at the WPPD site
www.pinholeday.org
When preparing the event for inside the International coordination Team, I
had the luck to coordinate the work of a nice group of translators all
around the world and we managed, thanks to Gregg' efforts, to offer a 12
languages version of the site. There, your students will find plenty of nice
words !
Hope it helps,
Amitiés d'un "sténopiste" français
Jean
