Shay Stephens On Chimping @ Digital Grin

"Chimping" is the act of checking the LCD screen of your camera to see if you got the shot

Hehe! What about the act of looking on the LCD screen instead of the optical viewfinder? ;-)

well on SLRs you can't look at the LCD while you're taking the picture....

if at first you don't succeed, you're about normal.

Isn't that the whole appeal of living in the digital age? I'm guilty.

Many new cameras (not SLRs) don't have viewfinders, now :-(

I usually shoot a bunch of pics through the viewfinder and then check them all out afterwards on the LCD

They call me King Kong in local photography circles:)
Seriously though, it does provide invaluable feedback to someone like myself who's started out with digital photography. Though most of the time when i check the LCD i'm looking at the histogram, rather than the picture itself.

I was just reading about chimping in a magazine. Interesting how it started. Since I staretd shooting on an SLR, I am always amazed at how good the images look in the viewfinder, but they often don't turn out quite so well on the little screen. I chimp quite a bit before and after the action, but generally not during.
