Chimping stands for chimpanzee. This came from tests wherein chimps were used in the testing of digital camera development and that is the habit they formed when they discovered the LCD on back of the camera.
Human beings look exactly like the test chimpanzees look when they use digital camera's.
I usually frequent locations where lots of photographers show up. Many of my best images are taken of people "chimping", or looking at every shot they take, afterward on the LCD.
I wish I could have gotten some shots of the chimp test subjects. I bet creating a montage of people and chimps "chimping" would be a best seller.

Perhaps, but only masochists shoot weddings, so how does most of this list pertain to those people.

Yes, we are many times a judgmental group, aren't we? How's that old song go? You can't please everyone, you just got to please yourself.

In all this, your artistic judgment and common sense should reign supreme ![/quote]
You make my point well for me. That's an opinion, period. Photography, like any other form of art is subjective. Personally, I would NEVER buy a Picasso, but his paintings are worth millions of $$$. I couldn't say he ever used artistic judgment or common sense, but maybe you can. Are either of us wrong, no.
"People are wrong, only because their beliefs are different from yours."

Sharpness isn't overrated if you want sharp pictures.
Maybe it's the total focus on sharpness that is overrated.

50 could be many things - my first thought was learn to use the "sweet Light hours"
the list goes on- learn flash and lighting
I am sure we all can add more.

I go along with this 100% as well as the statement of shooting only to please your self - now this is defiantly not true when shooting to please a customer when you are a pro.
I belonged to a group that had competition night once a month with pros for judges - seldom the same ones - we could enter the same photos when ever we wanted "till they won in a category - many were scoffed by one judge only to win under another - so take C&C as one persons opinion not carved in stone.

I'm curious - What's your #50? br br From: http:/... (show quote)
1. Is the list original, or derived?
2. The assumption is that one has a camera.
3. I assume it is not a ranked list - some want it to be.
4. The number of possible rankings, if UHH'ers wanted one, would be [b]50! Factoral or Factorial. 50x49x48x47x46....If I remember math correctly. Go figure.
Which would have the potential of being this forums longest thread.
