- corinroyal 3y agoSorry, yes it's from the old marketing category "point and shoot" cameras. I love all the snarky photography lingo. "Chimping" is a good one. It's rather the opposite of point and hope where digital photographers stop between shots to stare at the LCD and see how it came out. I'm not sure, but I think the term comes from the way these photographers look from a distance, crouched over the tripod, hands shading the screen.
- Kaibeezy 3y agoI thought “chimping” was when the subject/s swarm the photographer to see the photos just taken, chanting “show me show me show me”. Especially kids, and more so back when digital was new and shockingly fun.
