"Arg!", replied the pirate, "Me lost it to a great whale. "And what about the hook?" "Aye, by a shark." And the patch?" "Ah", the pirate replied, "That happened the day they attached the hook."  FWIW, a friend of mine who is left-eyed has won three Pulitzers for photography. One copes.

Advertisement Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Hi pico, Take a look here Left or Right Eyed - What are you?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Xmas Posted July 9, 2011 Share #42  Posted July 9, 2011 Hi  I normally use both eyes cause  - the left eye is not looking through an optical system and can see the subject more clearly - and I cannot see all the frame through the rangefinder cause of the specs.  I can switch the dominance i.e. control the dominance easiloy when I'm using a M3 (0.9) or M2 (0.7), or even a Contax II. If I'm fatigued this is more difficult, partly cause I then squint badly.  This takes some practice, and may be very difficut if you have good vision.  Noel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZDavid Posted July 10, 2011 Share #43 Â Posted July 10, 2011 Before RF camera there was bolt action rifle. Rifle was and still is designed to be aimed and fired by right eye user... Â Yes, but my brother got a left-handed Sako 243 hunting rifle. You can't buy left-handed cameras, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetoaster Posted July 10, 2011 Share #44 Â Posted July 10, 2011 I use my right eye for photography, because it is stronger than my left eye (-0.5 vs. -0.75) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnloumiles Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share #45  Posted July 10, 2011 Interesting to hear everyones thoughts on the subject. I'm surprised no one abstracted on the ideas about how it affects what we shoot though  Pico - I appreciate you reading the wiki, I read that as well but there are different theories and while there is integration at some point in the brain, eye function is controlled by the opposite hemisphere. I want to know if while starting at that point our brain influences our choices subconsciously. I'd love to read anything you had on the subject Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted July 10, 2011 Share #46  Posted July 10, 2011 Interesting to hear everyones thoughts on the subject. I'm surprised no one abstracted on the ideas about how it affects what we shoot though  Great question. I cannot even imagine an experiment that might quantify the differences since we see the world with both eyes, but photograph with only one - most of us that is - I shoot the 75mm with both eyes open through a magnifier. But I digress.  Pico - I appreciate you reading the wiki, I read that as well but there are different theories and while there is integration at some point in the brain, eye function is controlled by the opposite hemisphere. I want to know if while starting at that point our brain influences our choices subconsciously. I'd love to read anything you had on the subject  I would be happy to point you to the literature but I cannot recall the papers that actually diagram the fundamental pathways of stimulus to the eyes, midbrain, and visual cortex. I can stop by my former workplace to find the book, but my best guess at the moment is that it is Visual Intelligence: How We Create What We See by Donald Hoffman. But that's a guess. I have a lot of literature on visual phenomena. I want to find the literature with the graphic I have in mind and I'll try to stop by my old workplace to find it.  One idea that I'd like to explore is the so-called "Leica Look(s)". Some of the 'glow' I am sure can be attributed to selective spherical aberration and film choice. The so-called '3D' effect is quite a mystery to me. For example, the picture below has post-processing applied that is exactly the opposite of unsharp masking. Parts of the foreground are sharp and soft, the VW in the middle-ground rather sharp, but the rest of that plane and background is entirely soft.   Could a lens be designed to make that happen?

On the other hand I'm rather bad at viewing stereo pairs, have never managed it without a stereoscope and not always then. I suspect the one comes at the cost of the other.

scrubs Posted July 12, 2011 Share #50 Â Posted July 12, 2011 I just noticed that one of my eyes actually see slightly darker than the other. I use my right eye for shooting and after reading this thread thought I would have a peep with the left, noticeably darker... Â Did some research and a fairly common problem it seems. Anyone else?

pop Posted July 12, 2011 Share #51 Â Posted July 12, 2011 I just noticed that one of my eyes actually see slightly darker than the other. ... . Anyone else? Â I noticed as a kid that not only the brightness but the color hues differed between the eyes. It's not a problem, though. That's what the brain is for.

scrubs Posted July 12, 2011 Share #52 Â Posted July 12, 2011 Thanks, Â Yeah I read that too while researching, seems a lot of people see in seperate colour temperatures, if you wil. Coolish in one and warmer in the other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
