Possibly because of its nickname: Chimping. And the reluctant rocky non smooth gradual familiarity of digital techniques with users on the LUG. At this point I'd be embarrassed about NOT doing Chimping. Its simply an integral park of digital photography. Feedback. And lots of it. On a regular basis. To NOT be checking your monitor on a regular basis to see what your getting is nothing less than foolish. Not the other way around. Its inexcusable to not be totally in touch with what your shooting when you''re doing digital photography. Its about half the point of digital in the first place. Mark William Rabiner
