Through the Viewfinder

Leica M8 plus Voigtlaender 35/1.4 at F8. I am noticing that my 'good' eye is not good enough for using the optical viewfinder competently and that guessing becomes more than 50% of calibrating the shots. Just like driving the car in the night. It is amazing how good the brain is in complementing the deficiency of our senses. This is a close-up at about the limit of what the lens can do (approx. 70 cm).
Lost some detail as heavily cropped due to image being far left of frame.
Many thanks for any comments and favs, much appreciated

While walking through the Hawaiian Tropical Botanical Garden, my husband suggested I look through the circle of this giant leaf. It seems like the best natural camera viewfinder in the world. The history of the botanical gardens is well worth a side trip to their website. If you are interested, here is the link: www.htbg.com/index.html

"Ready?" I called, and I got a rock, and I waited until he had me in his viewfinder.
"Okay!" he called.
I laid back my arm and I hollered, "Now!" I threw that son of a bitch as far as I could throw it.
"I don't know," I heard him shout. "I don’t do motion shots."
"Again!" I screamed, and took up another rock.

As I was taking this shot, hubby was waiting patiently with the dog, a guy walked past and wondered what I was shooting. He couldn't see what I could through my viewfinder!
Infinity focus at last and what an effort. Shot about twenty frames and this was the only keeper; cropped to improve composition but at least it's sharp. The other shots looked OK in the viewfinder and focus peaking was doing its thing, but there was very little time between first view on the laptop and being transferred to the bin. Just my ineptitude in fine tuning the lens position; more practice to follow.

When I first switched to a DSLR with a viewfinder, I felt like said viewfinder was very limiting compared to just watching the train. While I have gotten accustomed to using my viewfinder, I decided to replicate the feeling at a popular Toronto photo location. CP 8021 leads CP 7015 on a mid afternoon 421 through the city as it begins its journey to Winnipeg.
I like the roundness of these stones. Nothing too complicated in this structure though the third stone up rests on it's weight sitting in a small niche, with the top stones keeping it weighted and angled in the right direction.
A very gusty morning, so not the easiest time to balance stones.
Shortly after I'd photographed this the rain came down and lasted all day.
I was taken with some others' shots using old camera viewfinders so I had fun creating my own fake one till I find a camera
