Chimps aren't monkeys.
Chimping gets its name from people who look at their photos at the back of the camera and make sounds like "ohh" "ahh" you know, chimp like sounds.
It's grown to mean just looking at your LCD.
Nothing wrong with it at all (if you have the time to do it). If you don't then how can you tell if something has gone wrong (like a flash didn't fire properly, or your lighting is off, or your exposure is wrong etc. etc.).
Only case where I don't chimp is when I'm in a live situation and I don't have time to worry about each shot. Then I do go back and review when I get the chance. Just to see what happened.
Has anyone noticed the left hand is human?
lolol Rise of the planet of the apes??

All that you are left with are the memories and the images-David Cooke.
Since I shoot with many older manual fcus lenses & the DSLR I use doesn't meter with them, I almost always am looking at the rear LCD/histogram...Plus as Matt said, in camera meters ar not infallable, thus it pays to check....Another thing is to make sure you set the right white balance or haven't dialed in some exposure comp in error...
I look at my shots nearly after each shot, light can change, subject can move. Anything can happen. Plus I just like to view what I'm shooting. I think it's the old time film guys who might not view their shots 100% of the time.
Before digital they had a different word for chimping: Polaroid. And many professionals, and serious photogs who could afford the extra equipment, used it all the time.

I read somewhere many years ago before digital that product photographers used polaroids to check lighting before capturing the image with the film cameras.
Sure, practice makes perfect but, unless you learn from your mistakes, you are only perfecting your ability to fail.

I think that's bubbles, therefore the left hand is probably Michael Jacksons. So yeh... human...
Yeah, ever couple shots or so. You know it depends on what I'm shooting. If important I will look at every shot, and histogram. Just to make sure things are the best they can be.
