I said that that's very unusual so here I am asking you 'hogs...what do you do? Answer by adding the alphabet letter that most closely matches your answer;


A.
I chimp shots at least SOME of the time, OR I take the card out of the camera when I get home or within one day and review images.


B.
I NEVER chimp EVER NOR do I REVIEW images until well AFTER the shoot date...like AT LEAST A FEW WEEKS LATER IF NOT MONTHS LATER.

A - but not so much with Sony ....8-) - if for no other reason to make sure I have a good card in camera.

B - this is the old school film era way

A I review them as I am culling the images after the shoot and since I do event photography I seldom have the time or the need to chimp while shooting unless the client just wants to see and verify that I got the shot as I shoot mostly available light candids but every so often they have a static display that they feel just has to be photographed or a central item on the food table such as a decorated cake.

Chimp all the time. Better to have a DUH moment and a do over than a WTF?
when it's too late to fix.
ALWAYS download first chance I get. Why chance something happening to your card/cards?


Agree with this process. Some chimping while out and about. Hey. Sometimes I take a few manual shots outdoors and then move indoors. Forget to change settings. Without chimping a bunch of very underexposed family event photos that can’t be saved.

When I begin A shoot I check my settings and lighting. I shoot action nature so I check my shots, then when I get home I pull the chip and go to Lightroom and Photoshop. I catalogue the shots and then format the card.. So I would say A.

A. Why not???? That way, if I need to make corrections, I can do so without wasting more shots. If exposure and everything looks okay, I quit, unless the lighting, etc. changes drastically.

I don't understand, you said "in a discussion with another film shooter". A film shooter of course never chimps. And they may not process their films until much later. Am i missing something here?

...sometimes A, sometimes B, but B only comes in if I'm not in a position to check. I move around so much, sometimes I don't want to leave if I can correct a flaw, be it mechanical or composition...

Maybe because the opportunity was not there?

I review after a few photos. Just recently I had bumped off the auto focus putting on a rain sleeve. I could have missed a lot of great shots.
