Yuchi Posted September 24, 2005 at 07:53 PM Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
in_lab Posted September 26, 2005 at 02:45 AM Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
