I Chimp!

There I said it. I chimp. I am a chimper. I am proud of being a chimper. I learn a lot from chimping. I am humble enough to know that I need to keep looking at what I just shot to see if I screwed up. And you know what? I frequently find that I did screw up and I learned from my mistakes.

CHIMPERS CONFESS WHO YOU ARE!

9 times out of 10, I couldn't shoot without chimping.

Ok, so on a recent vacation, I chimped. In fact, I shared many shots with my wife and daughter who were the subject of the shot. They chimped as well and more than once we were three chimps on the beach oh-ohing and ah-ahing away. Bit I never chimp alone. That would be perverted and wrong.

There is nothing wrong with chimping. I'm surprised to see anyone confessing to chimping now days.

I don't know but I keep reading threads on this and other forums that sort of put "chimping" in a bad light. It's kind of ... "If you chimp you are a _______".... "Tut, tut".

Come on! Join the "We Chimp!" club.

Aye, every single damn shot I have to take a peek. If I dont I some how feel disappointed

I need to chimp more. Then I'd notice I left the camera on ISO frickin' 3200 from the night before and everything is over exposed. I guess the flashing 4000 for shutter speed could be a clue, but am I really supposed to pay attention to that?

I here tell that if you Chimp alone you go blind!

I chimp, but only after taking around 5-10 shots. My LCD is really bright, so I have to take that under consideration when I adjust. No shame, just don't do it when people are looking.

See!.... I think you should do it in public.

I definitely Chimp when taking test shots for exposure tests when setting up. Couldn't get ready without it. Below is my favorite video on chimping from sportsshooter.com.

Well, yea!!!

I have to admit that some times I chimp. Sports shooting, forget it, I don't have time, pushing the button too often to stop and look. I generally find more stuff I don't like after I get home than from chimping though.

Generally I just chimp for histogram. Then once I'm relatively close to correct exposure, I just keep nailing that shutter release.

After I'm done that "portion" of the shoot I sit down and chimp through the photos.... I couldn't imagine chimping EVERY shot.
