It is all Greek to you? You're right! Photoon means light in Greek. and graphein is writing or painting.
Some claim that
John Herschel coined the term photography (writing or painting with light) in 1839 or '40 others think Niepce or his brother already used the word in one of their letters in the 1820-ies.
- Herschel of course is the true inventor of photography, as we know it, because he invented the fixer. (imho)

De betekenis van de woorden cookie; flag; gobo en scrim.

Deze pagina is het gevolg van een kleine discussie in nl.foto die behoorlijk off topic raakte.
Uiteindelijk wil je toch weten hoe het nou echt zit. en dan zit er maar één ding op: Zoeken.
Het volgende heb ik gevonden:

Even gekeken in: http://onelook.com/index.html
- die kijkt in 600+ woordenboeken en -lijsten. En de meest relevante zijn:


from
http://www.dramatic.com.au/glossary/glossarye_o.htm :

Gobo - A metal plate with a pattern punched out of it and placed in the gate of a profile spot to produce an image or outline on stage.
Scrim - Finely woven fabric which can be translucent or opaque using lighting from different angles. Small pieces of a scrim material is often used in front of lanterns to soften the light beam.

Gobo - see Cookie.
Coocoloris - A fancier way of saying Gobo or Cookie.
Cookie - A flat board, like a flag, but full of irregular holes used for creating a pattern of shadows when put in front of a light.
Flag - This has two meanings. 1.: It can be a large black cloth on a frame used on a shoot to keep light out of part of the composition. 2.: In the cutting room it is a small piece of tape attached to a shot in a roll and used exactly as you would use a bookmark. The flag sticks out the side of the roll, making it easy to find that shot again quickly.

COOKIE : See Gobo.
GOBO : A thin metal plate etched to produce a design which can then be projected by a profile spotlight (E.g. Foliage, Windows). The image can be used soft focus to add texture, rather than a defined image. A number of composite gobos in different coloured lanterns can, with careful focusing, produce a coloured image (e.g. a stained glass window). Greater detail can be achieved using a glass gobo.
The original use of the word GOBO came from the early days of Hollywood. When the Director of Photography wanted daylight excluded from some area of the set, he'd say "GO BlackOut". Loads of people would run around putting black material between the sun and the set. It eventually evolved into other stuff that goes in front of lights and now most commonly (in the UK at least), refers to patterns in profiles.
In the US TV/Film industry, a Gobo is a piece of material used to mask or block light and a Cookie (short for Cucaloris(from the Greek kukaloris: the breaking up of light)) is the same as a UK Gobo.
GOBO HOLDER : A metal plate designed to hold a gobo of a particular size in a lantern of a particular type.
GOBO ROTATOR : See Effects.

gobo - Also called cutter or flag
An opaque panel used to block light from selected areas on the subject or from entering the camera lens.
