I've had a quick scoot through some of the shots and come up with a few I like, I hope you like them too.
Coments and improvement suggestions are welcome.
They've had little more than a resize and a small border, a couple have had a touch of USM

I didn't take any pictures of the monkeys
I see you got the comedy meerkat too ;)
That croc/alligator thing looks well manky (the animal not the shot) ! lol
Rest are pretty good mate, Lion is a good shot. I would have put the Heron to the left of the image though, with all the space to the right ! :)

the original heron image is on the left, but i decided to flip it to try and get a different feel on the shot seeing as everyone got it :D

I didn't chimp once!
I hardly got any people shots either ;)
Really nice images you've got there, especially the cute little pig thing in your first post - colours look spot on. I got an identical lion one to yours but cut the end of his paws off :shake:
Looking forward to the rest :clap:
And don't look at me in regards to chimping, it doesn't do me any good on the 1D :(
hmmm..that comedy meerkat is funny.
nice shots

I pointed my camera and pressed the button :p
I threw most of the shots away.

Chimping is the act of looking at the screen on the back to see what came out ! if you didnt chimp and check histograms etc not surprised you threw a few away !" ;)

i thought chimping involved people crowding round other peoples cameras and looking at them

Nice shots mate, and I'll be honest, it's good to see you posting some :thumbs: Shuts all the naysayers up :D

Wikipedia quote ! :)
Chimping is a term used in digital photography (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_photography) (especially when using a digital single-lens reflex camera (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_single-lens_reflex_camera) or DSLR) to describe the habit of checking every photo on the on-camera display (LCD (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCD)) immediately after capture.
Usage varies depending on context and the person using it, but common uses include:
when a photographer’s sounds and actions of reviewing frames on-scene appear similar to the actions of an excited monkey. (Oooh! Oooh! Aaah!)
when a photographer is completely absorbed in the act of admiring a photo or proudly showing it off to others.
by experienced photographers to describe the actions of "wannabe" photographers. Having several digital photographers together will result in group chimping either during or after the event they are shooting. This is similar to actual chimpanzee (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimpanzee) grooming, which is a social activity.

And of course, Wikipedia is never wrong ;)
I didn't check EVERY shot after taking it ;)

And of course you are never wrong ?
Doesnt matter if its every shot you check, looking at the display is chimping ! nothing you say will remove the fact you were chimping as much as everybody else ! ;)
