Chris is chimping there a full 24 hours before the shot. We checked out all the spaces we'd be photographing in the night before, ran tests (with flash, without flash, proper mix of ambient light), (I jotted down all my settings) and then went back for a tasty dinner of Laphroaig. It would be interestesting to video tape a bunch of shooters working and see if the ones who are chimping are spending more, less, or the same time doing light readings than those watching the needles in-camera. i imagine that some clever camera manufacturer will realize that they should put a histogram IN the viewfinder so you can chimp the last shot without bringing the camera down. kc >beautiful demonstration Tina. >must say I'm a bit surprised. > >any chimping I do >is usually well after >or well before the fact >(unless working with a very difficult technical situation). > >Regards, >George Lottermoser >george at imagist.com >http://www.imagist.com >http://www.imagist.com/blog >http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist On Oct 6, 2009, at 4:32 PM, Tina Manley wrote: > LUG: > > This is the difference between photographers who use digital and > those who use film: > > http://www.pbase.com/image/118003890 > > I think every photo I got of Chris and Kyle has them chimping - > either with their cameras or their ipods!
