which eye do you photograph with?

[boskysquelch]

scene :both

shoot: one left, one right. then move to the right a tad...more shot to the left...then few more to with the left up at 10 o'clock a bit...then over to the right a lickle more. Sometime a kneetrembler underneath the two too.

you asked.

*overtime the Photographer's nose it "bent" to show which they use mo_0re.

Right usually, but I'm also a freak who doesn't have 'a' dominant eye.

 

[Herbsman.]

I wish my right eye was normal then I'd easily be able to press the aperture/exposure comp button on my camera without moving my face from the viewfinder.

 

[boskysquelch]

Oh and I fergot to say I never squint_close "an" eye...both stay open & relaxed...unless Iz fkkn about with macro or the ocassional making saw the eyeball is in focus in a headshot.

 

[Hocus Eye.]

I am right eye dominant so that is the one I put to the viewfinder. It is a good idea to keep the other eye open so that you see the subject at real size and also for safety so that you don't bump into things or people while moving around with the camera up to your eye.

Like I get a choice

((((bluey and Gordon Brown))))

 

[Pie 1]

Used to be Right.

[The Straw]

With both eyes open, point with your arm outstretched at a chosen object. Close your right eye. Does your arm seem to leap away from the object? Repeat for left eye. Which ever eye leaps least is your photographing eye. Freak or not, if you want a picture of what you think you're pointing your camera at, you use the best eye.

That actually works.

(I was right-eyed and right-handed anyway, but yes, that settled everything).

 

[ViolentPanda]

Neither. I use a camera.

 

[Herbsman.]

Neither. I use a camera.

Does your camera take those nice pictures then?

Surely you use your eye(s), hands and brain too!


p.s. U r buca init?

 

[Wilson]

either

I use my eyes and brain to decide what to photograph and how, I use my hands to operate the camera, I then use the camera (a device that captures photographic images onto media) to...photograph with, and my right eye to check focus and composition through the viewfinder. If I used my left eye the wind-on lever would dig into the bridge of my nose, and probably give me a black eye if I tried to wind-on while still looking through the viewfinder.

p.s. U r buca init?

I don't have the slightest clue what you're gabbling about, so I'll just say "no".

 

[Crispy]

I use my right eye and I'm the most left sided person ever.

Is it cos of the way my brain is wired?

A bit. The optic nerves cross over in front of your brain. Some parts of the left eye go to the right hemisphere and vice versa

 

[Refused as fuck]

Neither. I use a camera.

I use my eyes and the picture comes out of my arse. This explains why they are all shit.

So all your pictures are sepia-tinted, then?

well if you wanna get pedantic about it, no-one photographs with just a camera, they also use light, a lens (or pinhole) and a recording medium

 

[sim667]

right every time.....

unless im in a really awkward position

 

[Grobelaar]

Left eyed, left footed, but sadly due to a crap out of date policy in my nursery school I'm right handed. can do a lot of things with my left-hand. Have been vaguely entertaining the notion of retraining myself to write and draw with my left hand.
