left eye. i've tried to use my right but it feels funny, it makes my eye tired and it does me no good because it makes me look cross-eyed.

Right hand, right eye - it just feels right. (But that might be because my left eye is inferior.)

Right handed and right eye

Left handed, right eye.

My right eye is dominant, something I found out when learning to shoot (guns), so I shoot right handed. Plus, though I know people who use their left eye, it just seems to be wrong.

It's curious how right hand oriented cameras are when you are left handed. The only part of your body that you can't shoot while holding the camera is your right hand.

Right eye but I keep both eyes open all the time, tracking the scene with the left and the photo with the right. Sometimes I can't keep the left open due to bright sun or some such and it makes it much harder to track things if there is any movement or the scene is changing.
Also, if anybody takes a picture of you while you're doing this, you look kinda sorta probably a bit insane.

ETA: Write left handed, eat left handed, throw/bowl/coarse motor movements right handed.

Right hand, right eye (most of the time, the other times both open).

3. Pretend to roll dice.

I have tried occasionally to use my right eye, and leave the left open for scanning (which is probably ideal), but it's a struggle for me. I find myself stuck behind the camera with my left eye more often than not. Maybe someone will give me electroshock therapy and convince me that the right eye is better.

Judging by the last couple of scores I keep both eyes closed!

Left handed and normally left eye with the right eye closed unless I'm looking out for motion outside the frame.

I'm relieved that at least one person found this amusing (assuming you're joking....if not I apologize for your dismissal)


you're going to be hearing from my attorney.

One of the kids on my son's baseball team is like that.

One of my nephew's is exactly the opposite. He writes right handed, eats right handed, but plays ball left handed.

when i used to target shoot pistols they made us make a v with two thumbs together line it up on somethign fixed with both eyes then close one eye then the other, the one it doesnt move and stays alligned is your positive eye and likely the one you use for your camera.

left eye for me but im right handed for everything else although im fairly ambidextrous ie i can write passably with my left but not at the same speed as right and has only been a recent thing since ive been forging my 4yr old writing for 4 years hehe :)

Batting left handed is a great advantage. When you are done swinging the bat, you are perfectly positioned to start running. No need to uncurl your body from the swing.

I used to play a decent game of squash and would warm up against my opponent right handed - it freaked them out when I played the match left handed.
