chimping part 1 and 2
hope this hasnt been posted before

Yeah it has been posted before. I saw both and it is funny. Everyone chimps!

Yup - those are amusing! Saw them a while back.....its well worth looking at Lucy Nicholson's website (girl from Reuters featured on there) - some awesome photos on there.


Have to confess to chimping too - was at a game last Saturday and was clearly seen on the tv highlights gazing at the back of the camera. Oops!!

Repeat after me....My name's Paul and I'm a Chimpaholic.

Anyone else want to share in my shame and confess?

I don't understand why people "confess" to chimping. That is the primary function of the LCD. It can give you some very good information when properly setup. Why have a good feature and then not use it for all it is worth?

Yea I never could understand the negative of looking at what is going on with your shots. Might as well go back to film.

I think that its an ego thing. I don't have to look at my work I am the best. Thats why they don't like others see them doing it. Others will think that you need to check your work.

I know that I suck, so I don't have to worry about it.

Chimpers Unite!!!

Guilty as charged.

My friends make fun of me if they catch me doing it.
Actually, I do it primarily to check my exposure on the histogram. With my eyes, I can't really see much of anything on that little screen, and with sports shooting, the action moves to fast for me to stop and chimp my shots incessantly.

i histogram chimp to amke sure im not taking blonde shots but not realy do a full blown chimp that often every now and then and when one of the older togs hwo carnt belive im 16 wants to have a chimp show of my work

does this make ma chimpaholic or not

Friends don't let friends chimp and drive.

Chimp me up SCOTTY!!!

Chimping is contageous,
It happens everyday
It often makes you swear alot
Or smile when its okay.

A chimp secures a winner!
A chimp can save a blink
I'll keep chimping till the cows come home,
No matter what you think!
