Learned something from this upload - - 'chimping' is a new term for me; I shut off the display while photographing - is there a term for that too(?)

Terrific light, composition., moment! I'm always chimping, sometimes to check exposure, sometimes I just can't wait to see the shot! Looks like he might have a ThinkTank holster bag...

Sometimes it's a wise precaution if you are unlikely to visit again.

The term, "Chimping" comes from the sound "Hoots"that Chimpanzees make when they are happy. Some photographers make similar noises when checking their images. ( So I am Told)
