I'm looking for a site that helps me translate common photography terms from
English to German. This would make it easier for me to discuss photography
with my girlfriend and her dad. I have a working knowledge of
conversational German, so the site doesn't have to be in English to be
useful to me.

I've googled and killed a chicken, but no luck so far. I'll try killing
another chicken.

Thanks. :)

Notoriously useless (I say that as a professional translator). I could
try to help out on individual points of terminology, although I've only
recently become interested in photography and am not an expert by a long
shot. You could also try http://www.proz.com. This is a translator's
(and language) portal where you can ask for help on terminolgy (I'm
willing to bet there'll be people there who know a lot more about
photography than I do).

Thanks Alan, I use http://dict.leo.org/ for general help if I get stuck,
but I was looking more for a vocabulary list. Proz.com has been added to my
reference list. :)
