early attempt at SP

Question - does everyone close one eye when taking SLR photos?

Note Laine's response below and check her link! A very good international sampling in the reply to her similar question.

I've been told that I close both eyes
Next time try just pointing a shooting without using the eye piece
It may take a few tries to get it composed correctly

Difficult question. Somehow I only manage to keep one eye open, when I make a one hand shot. Nice sp.

Very nice SP!

YES!! Which is why my right eye has more wrinkles than my left! ;o)

I do, and not only that but I close my right eye and look through the camera with my left. Apparently most people close their left eye and look through their right. This could turn into a survey!
Phillip Normanton02-Nov-2007 18:44
Errr, dunno! Will there be another one later when you've worked out how to keep the other eye open?
