Thanks Marcus. The term "chimping," or "dhimps" for those who practice it, is meant to be descriptive of the way some photographers behave when they're looking at the screen view of their digital photos. They bend their head in a posture similar to that of a chimpanzee. Sometimes they make a noise not unlike that of the lower primate: "ooh, ooh, ooh!" It was somewhat of a derogatory term at first, but it's fast becoming a part of the photographer's standard lexicon. Paul On Mar 31, 2008, at 12:40 AM, Marcus A.
