Which Eye Do You Use?
When it comes to looking through your camera’s viewfinder, which eye do you use?
I find that most of my photographer friends use their right eye, while I use my left. The reason is that our natural tendency is to use our dominant eye in activities that require one eye. Since I have cross dominant vision (I am right handed, yet have a dominant left eye), I use my left eye when photographing (you can read more about Ocular Dominance here).
Does this have any affect on our photography? Nope. The only difference I find is that my nose leaves more smudges on the LCD when using the left eye.
So, which eye do you use (and are you right or left handed)?
Canon 30D, Canon 24-105 f/4L lens – 1/60 second, f/5.6, ISO 100
