Chimping & Pixel-Peeping

I'm thinking your sarcasm meter needs adjustment.

I should chimp more. I have on more than one occasion taken a stack of photos only to find out after every damn one of them was off (usually forgetting to verify or reset camera settings).

That and the dof preview. I really should be using more.

Gary, don't be a dick.

Don't you mean big dick

 

[gsgary]

yeah but at least my camera looks really cool and I'm poor now.

Nothing cooler than a 70 year anniversary M4P

should have chimped more today. Maybe then I would have noticed that small bit of whatever that got on my lens messing up my photos.... probably not but never know..

The term chimping is credited to Robert Deutsch of USA Today as used in a Sportsshooter newsletter article from 1999.

It refers to a photographer looking at the back of the camera, going 'ooh!' 'ooh-ooh!' like a monkey. If you feel absolutely compelled to do it, watch the video and see how the pros do it! lol
