You mean a finite mathematical answer such as "maybe"? -- Regards, Savageduck |

As usual there were the annoying people in the audience recording the entire performance with the LCD illuminated the whole time. I wonder if the concertmaster even realized how few new P&S cameras and camcorders even have a viewfinder any more. I just shake my head when I see people using the LCD instead of the viewfinder especially with DSLRs that have a live feed. LCD's are only good for lining up difficult shots where the camera can't be placed at the eye. I dunno about that. There are many people who take better photographs using "Live View" because they see the screen as the photograph. These are people like my wife who don't take many photographs and aren't really comfortable with a camera. If she uses my camera - which does not have Live View - she cuts off heads and feet. She does well with her P&S, though. I think her problem with my camera is that she keeps both eyes open and sees the scene with the eye not at the camera and thinks she's getting it all. Has she determined her dominant eye? Whichever one she focusses on me when she says "Don't leave your clothes on the floor". G! You do know how to do that, do you not? The thumb at full elbow extension and focusing on a distant object and all? Actually, I do. I used to skeet shoot. I'm left-handed and naturally put the shotgun butt in my left shoulder. I couldn't hit squat. When I found I am right-eye-dominant, I moved the butt to my right shoulder and became fairly good. I was surprised to find I wasn't good at skeet at first because I was very good with an M-1 in the Army. However, I was forced to shoot from the right shoulder there because one never argues with the range sergeant. The M-1s were the old bolt action type when I was in, and - being left handed - I'd reach my left hand across to throw the bolt. As long as Sarge didn't see me do that, I was OK. He would look down the line, though, and see if I had the rifle in my left shoulder. I didn't know anything about eye dominance then. In the days when I was in the army I discovered that while I automatically put the rifle to my right shoulder, I sighted with my left eye. Gave my instructor fits until he realised I was a better than average shot. Sounds familiar. I qualified as sharpshooter once I started sighting with my left eye. They finally allowed me to fire my 45 lefty (long story, but during my MP training I also played a lot of golf.) Expert, rifle & pistol. All right handed without eyeball issues. (...and no golf.) -- Regards, Savageduck |

I did have a problem when I commented that in the event of a war, based on the assumption that the enemy riflemen were as good as us, my chances of survival were better on the front lines, than as a civilian potential victim of CBR warfare. -- Peter |
