Some of my best pictures of people were taken using neither the viewfinder nor the LCD screen. You point the camera in generally the right direction, talk to your subject, smile perhaps, all the while maintaining eye contact, then shoot when an appealing facial expression appears. Later, in Photoshop, you can fix rotation problems and compose the shot. Obviously this technique is for shooting people only, and is a way of circumventing the natural guardedness we all have.

Just curious. Digital camera folks! Which manner of "viewfinding" do you use and/or prefer? Camera held out in front of you at arms length as you stand or walk about looking like a zombie, or to use the actual viewfinder if your camera has one? I'm a viewfinder person myself if for no other reason than any camera is hard to hold steady when held at arms length.
