One joy that digital photography doesn't offer

[Mainecoonmaniac]

I had to look it up too.

OK, call me slow. I did wonder for a while until I finally looked this up:
Chimping:
What one does after taking a picture with a digital camera and looking at the result. Derived from the words they speak when chimping: "Ooo-oo-oo!"
(Made me laff my arse off).

So, what's that reaction when you see your print appear in the developer in the darkroom?
I don't think it was a chimp-like experience.

Personally, I lumber around like a dancing chimp and make similar sounds only I throw rolled up prints in the air beside the enlarger.

(Think 2001 A Space Odyssey...)

I cannot shoot digital because no one gives an advanced class in chimpin'.

The joys of "chimping" are denied to me I don't own a digital camera,and I don't feel that anything is missing in my life,and I often think to myself for what a decent DSLR costs I could buy a used Hasselblad, a real camera, and I wouldn't need to learn photography all over again.

What's a histogram?

What's a histogram?

A small amount, by weight, of histo.

[Chan Tran]

I love shooting film and I wish I can continue to do so for a long time!
I do not like the anticipation and was the reason why I learn and do darkroom work so I can see my results sooner.
I do not like surprises and was the reason I do testing, studying and developing techniques that I can accurately know what I am getting at the time I release the shutter.

Err, Ummm, Well grams aren't a measure of weight (which in the english system is a measure of Force). Grams are a quantity of mass, not weight.

So how many Pascals does a gram weigh?

If we're talking about a gram of Helium, It might be a little hard to weigh it.
