Usually Right, i'm right handed, but changed it around a bit this weekend when I was at a wedding and seating arrangements made it difficult to shoot otherwise... Still prefer right, but left was easy enough as well...

Right eyed / right handed until I can gain some dual dexterity - then it's dual wield with both eyes open, obviously.

[edit]

I thought was in the invisible macho firearm sub-forum, so that's some evidence that I'm possibly cack-eyed.

Right eye/right handed

I can then still use my left eye to quicky scan and then focus in with the right eye via the view finder ...

Yup, same for me. Helps loads shooting sport when you can still use your peripheral vision to follow the action.

Both. Right is more comfortable, but its easier to hold steady when shooting left.

Haha, I voted which I aim down the sights with when shooting. Didn't even think of any relation to photography. Either way I use the right eye. (Even though I am left handed, it's just the way I learnt to shoot growing up).

Right handed when it comes to aiming. Left eye is a smaller than the right so I am short-sighted in the left which makes any use of the left eye well useless...

Right / Right ... camera or rifle

There's various ways to check which eye is dominant ... I found this one makes the most sense
