    No. Never photograph a photographer - it's a cardinal rule. There's a reason we position ourselves at the back end of a camera.


    (KIDDING)(half, anyway)

    Great shot.

    Sara's right! rolleyes1.gifrofl

    But as to the title...This really isn't chimping - which is the photographer using his digital camera the way a chimp would - shoot, peek; shoot, peek; shoot, peek; shoot, peek; etc. etc. This is more an example of clienting - showing the client what you've gotten to determine if you have to keep shooting, or you can move on. ;-)

    And i like the image. I am particularly partial to photos of people taking photos.:D

    Someone from a local paper was chimping and ref ran into him. Ref was ticked off. Nice shot though.

    From Wikipedia:

    "The phrase (chimping) is most likely derived from comparison between the sounds and actions some make while reviewing images and those of an excited primate (Oooh! Oooh! Aaah!), or when a photographer is completely absorbed in the act of analyzing, admiring or proudly displaying a shot to others."

    Seemed like an appropriate title at the time...

    Glad you like the image! And thank you for commenting!
