Look at an object, make a circle with your fingers of 1 hand (ok sign)
look with both eyes true the circle and focus on the object so you have it in the middle.
Now close one eye, then close the other eye.
The eye that has the object still in the middle is your dominant eye.
Left for me, righthanded... |
We do a similar test with first time archers. You make a triangle using your thumbs and first fingers. Stretch out your arms away from your face and choose an object to look at through the triangle. While focusing on that object, pull the triangle up to your face. The eye that your hands go to is your dominant eye.
There are actually quite a few people who are right-handed and left eye dominant, or vice versa. |

I use my left eye, but her in doors says I am cack-handed.
Although on a good day and a with a fair wind behind me , I do favour my right hand. |

I find I dont have to close my right eye as there is a bloody great camera in front of it.
Although to be honest, I tend not to use the view finder anymore, and use the display moniotor instead,

If I remember my psychology classes, then the wiring of the eyes crosses over from left to right (and vice versa) so for most right-handed people the left eye is dominant and southpaws have right eye dominant.
I use both hands, mainly the right tho, but my left eye is the dominant eye, and I use that for the wievfinder.
I also seem to remember that true lefthanders and true righthanders are quite rare, most people favour one hand but use the other quite a lot (and often for specific tasks)
Since most cameras are designed to be held in the right hand, does that mean difficulty for lefthanders?

Should have taken anatomy too ... this is almost right. What happenes is that HALF of the Optic Nerve fibers cross over, so that the same lateral hemisphere of each eye goes to the same side -- each visual field goes to one side ofe the brain. |

That's really cool mk, it worked for me. I already kenw/thought it was my right eye, cause I can't use my left with my camera...it's just awkward, and when I did the triangle thing it gave me the same thing. So:
Right eye
Right handed

Interestingly, left eye with a still camera but right eye with a video camera - although depending on the shot when using the video camera I'm using the right eye for the viewfinder and the left eye to look at the scene.
Right handed, for what it's worth and no real dominant eye.

Left eye, right-handed.
Maybe something to think about.....Right-Brained/Left-Brained?
Left eye = right-brained = more artistic
Right eye = left-brained = more detail oriented

left eye, left handed.
If I'm looking through the viewfinder. A lot of times I'll just set it on the bottom screen so I can look back and forth between the scene and the camera. I have this paranoid thing about looking through life through a viewfinder. It's always bugged me. Especially when I'm out traveling, or in a public place. It just seems to be offensive gaining a one eyed view through a .55 inch LCD display instead of the big picture. But that's just me. And that's why I don't usually use the viewfinder.

| If you are right handed you are also not necessarily right footed. If you snowboard you need to know which foot is dominant. To determine it, someone stands behind you and without warning pushes you suddenly forwards. Whichever foot you step forwards with to catch your fall is your dominant one. If you use your left foot, the binding arrangement is called Goofy-footed. |

Right eye...but it has more to do with my big nose than anything else!

I've been noticing my particularily poor eye sight more and more. I have glasses (even though the doc - who was about a million years old - said they don't normally give out perscriptions that mild) but only wear them for night driving.
I'm thinking of getting contacts - I can't even read billboards anymore at the ripe old age of 23. This sounds dumb, but I just put it together that maybe my bad eyes are what makes photos look out of focus :-)

I shoot with my left eye, or at least make a concerted effort to. I have a cataract in my right eye, from birth, that keeps me from correcting it to any better than about 20/30. But I am still 20/20 in my left eye.
Unfortunately, it feels compltely unnatural to shoot through the left eye. To some degree I guess it always will.
I just tell myself that it's a minor thing when some people are unfortunate enough to not have sight at all.
