Chimping
Loading...
Uploaded by dikkeman on Apr 8, 2008
Chimping is a term used in digital photography (especially when using a digital single-lens reflex camera or DSLR) to describe the habit of checking every photo on the on-camera display (LCD) immediately after capture.
Usage varies depending on context and the person using it, but common uses include:
* when a photographer's sounds and actions of reviewing frames on-scene appear similar to the actions of an excited monkey. (Oooh! Oooh! Aaah!)
* when a photographer is completely absorbed in the act of analysing, admiring or proudly showing a photo off to others.
* by experienced photographers to describe the actions of "wannabe" photographers.

i understand if people chimp if they begun photography on film, the settings are not identical, and take a while to get used to it.
-
i am like Rod Mar, chimp when there is mixed light and Jack Gruber - USA Today, there is nothing wrong with chimping, keeping it to considerable moderation.
-
I'm a total chimp-master. But then again, I'm only 1 year into my photography degree. I notice I do it less than I used to, though.

Chimping with pictures of chimps?! Instant Classic!

Aha! I thought is was Rod. Just couldn't put the name to the face at the time.

Nothing wrong with chimping even regardless of "moderation". Photographers are such a proud breed. Chimp a little, chimp a lot. Who F'ing cares. That said, if you miss a good shot because you were chimping, then that's probably not a good thing. But it's not my problem, it's yours! Cheers!
