This is not something for which you can rely on others. It's whatever works best for you.

I do that a lot when I'm currently enrolled in a photo class. When not in class, not so much. I remember an old photo class that had the heading:
"The Eye Of The Photographer", and it was all about pre-visualization. Lots of fun.

"The LCD shows you what the sensor is seeing."

i'm confused.

You shouldn't be, because it's unlikely that one would be looking at the LCD
while driving, although here in Mass, anything can happen on the road.

One eye.

I use my dominant eye, however I'm trying to train my other eye to stay open otherwise my dominant eye gets fatigued and colors from one eye to the other are different

I used to have a dominant right eye; and left hand dominance (natural leftie). Not a good combination, especially when pistol or shotgun shooting. I managed to remain a right-eye dominant shooter, both in photography and firearms until four years ago when I had cataract surgery. The doctor and I decided to leave my left eye just a bit myopic, and my right eye would be dominant, like before.

However, the amount of myopia remaining in my left eye, caused me to see pistol and shotgun sights more clearly. My right eye really has distance strength, and I was left in a quandary. I ended up switching to left-hand with my pistols and revolvers, since I could see the front sights so much more clearly. However, my shotgun and rifle mechanics are completely right hand, but the left eye wants to dominate. I opted to put scotch tape over the left lens, and now I can force my right eye to be dominant for shotgun beads and rifle scopes.

The same thing happened in my cameras. That was easy to correct. I now look through the viewfinders with my left eye, I still use the controls right-hand, but I don't need any corrective lenses for the viewfinders, nor changes to the diopters. For my view cameras, I use a loupe (4x or 8x) for focusing.

I've been shooting firearms for 60 years and cameras for about 50; I shoot with both eyes open all the time, right eye to the viewfinder or sights, left eye follows the target until the right eye gets on target and takes over. It just takes some practice. One of my cameras is a Nikon P900 , and I find the best way to follow a moving target at 800-1600 mm equiv. is hold the camera almost like a rifle, twist at the waist, and use the "Virtual horizon" setting to give me crosshairs like a rifle scope.

Yes sir. That is exactly the same way I was taught. and on single shot. Don't want to waste amo or film. I rearely shoot photos in auto rapid fire. or my guns in auto either.

Both eyes opened...,but I’m still praying!

krashdragon

When I wore contact lens, I had one for distance (right eye) , and one for reading (left eye)

The eye not being used just didn't focus,never had a problem.

What was a problem was trying to focus on the front sight of my pistols with one distance,one closeup lens.
Finally resorted to using computer glasses, focus was about the same area as front sight.

Since I learned to have both eyes open when using a monocular microscope, I just keep them both open. I still concentrate my focus on the shot with my right (dominant) eye, just override the left eye. This way, if there is action around me, I am slightly more aware of it with my left eye. Just a personal choice.
