I am right-handed, left eye dominant but I use my right eye to look through the viewfinder

RayD:Firstly, hello all from a new member and many thanks for this forum. An added bonus to the mag. Regarding eyes: From my ancient days of clay Pigeon shooting I was taught a simple (and very basic) technique for discovering your 'Dominant' eye. That is if you have two eyes that you think are equal in vision quality. The method was to hold up one finger and line it up with a distant vertical object like a tree, doorframe or whatever whilst looking through both eyes. (Distant being the other side of the room if you wish). By closing one eye at a time you'll see that one of them will be nearer the mark than the other, that will be your dominant eye (or so it was thought). Didn't benefit me one iota when it came to hitting the clays or taking good photographs come to that but I thought it might be of interest for my first post. Ray

I see two fingers about 4 ins apart, either my eyes need testing or I need to stay off the alcohol!
I could saw the bottoms off two jamjars for you. As for the booze,,,,,,,I've never tried it after a few. Have a tendency to watch late night TV with one eye shut. Essential for mono-vision, apres vino collapso.

Ray, you're so kind, what worries me is it's the same when I haven't had any alcohol, me thinks I need my eyes tested!
I am right handed i.e. I write with my right, but I do most things left handed like use a knife and fork, drink tea, use a can opener etc.
I just did the dominant eye thing and my left eye is dominant. I use my left eye when taking pictures but I thought it was just because I can only close my right eye on it's own, but thinking about it, it does feel more comfotable that way.
Very confusing! (My dad is properly ambidextrous though, which is cool)
