Any ambidextrous photographers here?

We were just messing around with taking photos and doing what we normally would do with one hand and doing it with the other.  Fun experiment, easy for those who are ambidextrous.

OMG NO!  I have a hard time doing things with my normal hand (right).  :lol:   Seriously, I'm not and have a hard time doing things that require precise coordination with my left hand.

I can do it, but it is awkward to say the least. Tripping the shutter with my thumb is a pain. The only other thing that is tragic when I use my left is my writing, otherwise I can do anything else with both hands.

I'm the same way, I can use both hands, but my left is awkward and I feel goofy because of the movement.

I would give my right arm to be ambidextrous

I can use my other hand, but as many others have said, it's awkward.

What camera has the controls on the left? Seem's to me I had an old Brownie many many years ago that the release was on the right but you tripped it with your thumb. My RB67 has the ability to lock up the shutter then shoot simply, quietly and steady with the release. That release looks like it was designed to be released with the thumb. I don't have that cable so simply use two release cords. I can do one in each hand! Oh, and I do release them with my thumb.

Just about all that needs to be done with my left hand, isn't any real problem for me.

Yes, but I need to be moving much slower in order not to screw up
