RE: [photo-3d] Which eye do you close?

Hey, me too! So that's two Tom.

Other interesting related aspects are looking at anaglyphs. If you look at
them
carefully you'll notice a red or bluish tint. If you concentrate you can
change
back and forth between the red or bluish tint. I imagine this has to do with
your
dominant eye. Another simple test (for dominant eye) is sticking out your
thumb
and then closing one eye to see which way your thumb "jumps". I forget the
exact details on this.

There is another interesting test which maybe illustrates dominant traits
(I don't know, maybe some can clarify). Stretch out both hand and clasp them
together. You'll notice you ALWAYS overlap one thumb over the other, the
same way. For example, I always overlap my left thumb over my right one. It
feels weird doing it the other way around.

Next question is, how do you use a fork and knife? I am right handed and
normally use a fork with my right hand, BUT when I use both a fork and
knife, I use the fork with my left hand and the knife with my right hand. Is
this normal or am I strange or something! I wonder what all this means! ;-)

Now in a vain attempt to bring this back on topic, I think the Realist
shutter
button on the left side makes perfect sense. If the shutter was on the
right,
the advance mechanism would probably have had to be placed on the left.
If your right handed, imagine advancing the film, if it was indeed on the
left!
I'll take the left shutter button orientation any day.
