The percentage of left eye dominant people in this poll is much greater than the percentage in the general population-----by a huge amount.

Does that say something about photographers?

Ever since this thread was first posted I've been paying much more attention to which eye I shoot with (90% SLR). I had assumed that it was my right eye, since I'm right handed, but I've come to realise that I actually use both, switching as I go.
 
The left eye is controlled by the right side of the brain, which excels at special relationships and creativity....among other visual interpretations.

I've always used both eyes open but used my right to take the photo, SLR's and RRF.

I guess it's whatever works for you
 
A friend of mine was bird spotting (one eyed through a field scope) for a summer and got a strange eye disease from that, Since then I always try to shoot with both eyes open. Not always successful, but almost...
 
Left eye has been my master eye all my life. When I was a kid and shooting rifles with my brothers, I always wondered why I was different.
 
I wish I was a left-eye shooter, but I'm not. I just recently discovered that my left eye is a little better than my right eye. Nothing too bad, but I'm afraid that in a couple years I might need contacts :( My left eye is dominant though.
 
I shoot left eyed, and I crook my right eye over the top plate of the camera so I can have a peek around if I want.

I'm right handed and footed though. I guess I inherited my shooting eye choice from my father.
