Assignment #1 LCD vs viewfinder

I still prefer shooting using the LCD screen. This was a really hard assignment for me. I have lots of bad habits to break. I know that using the viewfinder reduces blury pictures, but our camera has this antishake feature, so I don't notice a difference. Using the LCD screen also allows us to view what is being focused on while the viewfinder does not.
Here is the viewfinder photo.
This is using the LCD screen.


I like that the LCD screen shows exactly what the image will turn out to be.
The viewfinder adds things on all sides. When I was composing this image through the viewfinder, it matched what I did in the last photo. I guess that I could always crop the image afterward to have it match.

I like your LCD's better as well. Obviously it works for you and as long as you can get any camera shake under control then I say go for it! :-)

One plus about using the viewfinder is that it saves a ton of battery life. Using the LCD screen sucks up the juice pretty quickly. But I also liked your LCD pics better. However, like you said, you could always crop.
