While this idea might conjure up the image of a primate sitting under a tree with a camera around its neck, it actually points to something less unique. In fact, it’s a common practice among beginning photographers. The term “chimping” refers to the habit of looking at the back of an LCD screen after each shot. It’s the constant ‘shoot and check’ that so many amateur photographers engage in. Professional shooters tend to shy away from this practice, as they strive to stay connected in the moment of what they’re photographing, knowing there’s time to review once the session or event is over.
If you find yourself constantly checking the back of your camera, try to shoot without checking your images until your session is over. You may find this approach can help you stay better connected to your subject and you might pick up moments you might otherwise miss.
