Agreed! But if you can't understand a histogram well it is not much use. What does that flashing screen mean anyhow? Man am I ever snapish today must be those innoculations.

Actually, he was using burst mode for the jumps and taking out the shots that were repetitive, But I thought is was funny to take a photo of him looking at the screen.

He comes out from Italy to shoot the meets out here. I'd love to have that job!

Here is another pro/Nikon shooter caught in the act:

Is it considered a *sin* on this board if you review your shots in the field??? Man, you guys are pros!

I just did 2 days of kid's equestrian event. Lots of burst mode 5fps. I only have 3.5GB in cards with me... (no portable drive yet).

The weather also keeps changing, cloudy, dark, sunny so I have to keep checking if I'm still okay.

So I had to review my shots, and if I know I won't use the shot (i.e. If I think the parents won't buy that picture), I'll delete it right away.

Save the space for the money-shots!

kevbaily. has anyone ever told you that you look kind of like steven covey? the 7 habits class... and it was a great class..

No! I've never been told that. LOL I'm searching for a photo of this poor guy!

I do it constantly! If I am blowing through shots, esp in burst mode, and I know I missed the shot, or missed my mark on the focus, I immediatly delete it.

Also, when shooting events with different skaters, I have a program handy and mark down the last photo # next to their name, so that when I process them I can organize them by name. Saves me having to go through and look at each one trying to figure out, "Who is this, oh yeah I think i saw them over here somewhere" Helps a lot, especially when they are performing in more than one event.

Not a sin,. but there is a certain amount of humor that goes along with it,.
the term that was coined some years ago is "chimping" and that alone makes it funny IMHO

It's more a game than anything... trying not to be "caught" chimping,. and or catching somone else in the act

It is a funny term, and it is funny to watch someone do it! LOL It's not funny to watch me do it, however. LOL

i just chimp the histogram (really) to see if my exposure is correct. You really can't tell anything from the screen anyhow.

I quickly scroll back to verify the starting number for a person, then look quickly for anything that is extremely obvious as a non-fixable shot. remove it, then verify the last capture number. I might shoot over 1000 shots in a couple of hours so I don't need the bad shots taking up space. Also, if their coach or parent is nearby, i'll let them see a shot, esp if they are doing jumps, and I actually catch them in the air! LOL

OMG, he's ugly too! LOL

lol.. you guys aren't THAT ugly

I never chimp when in the presence of a Nikon user!
