Why do you think I complain so much about the Catholic v. Orthodox threads that pop up in here all of the time?!

How can you have a Catholic v. Orthodox thread? We ARE Catholic. Us vs. us? I presume the complaint here is that we're being lumped in with the Romans, which is, well, just dumb, if one knows anything about anything.

;)

That is what I meant. RC vs Orthodox threads. You know "what do you guys think about the latest thing the Pope has said" threads. Who cares what they say or do? They are NOT Orthodox!

I think some people have some kind of misunderstanding that one day the Orthodox and Rome will re-unite. It's not happening, no matter how much Rome, her followers or the ignorant media claim otherwise.

Also, this is dangerously close to on-topic discussion, and I'm much more interested in my plate of eggs and toast than discussing Rome. ;)

I try to take several shots while adjusting to a well lit focal point. Sometimes I even wind up happy with what I shot.

Forgive me...

That's an awesome pic! When I'm photographing people I focus on the eye that is closest to me, since there is more wiggle room behind the focal point than in front of it. That is easy enough with my older kids who will sit still for me and tolerate my endless picture-taking. But it is a huge challenge with the baby, who wants to come straight at me and grab the lens...or won't even look at me at all. LOL ^_^ Most of the time my sharpest pics are the ones that I wasn't trying very hard for (i.e. accidents).

Here's a pretty cool depth of field calculator.

Theology is quite inappropriate for the Taverna!!!

Poor Noah has to have 4 teeth pulled before he can get his braces on. His bottom teeth grew in very awkward..kind of like in rows like a shark's teeth. His very front two teeth are actually behind the rest of the teeth. So they are going to pull those dudes out of there, then file down his canines flat so you can't tell the front two are missing. Kind of a similar thing with the top teeth, only it's the canines getting pulled.

Losing the canines? I lost a molar on each side, top and bottom... too many teeth for a small mouth. My top canines stuck out so much i could close my mouth and have teeth over my lips if I want. I had braces for 2.5 years but it was worth it...

Pulling the teeth isn't too bad, the annoying thing is not being able to eat solid food after it's done.

Here is one of my favorites lately.

Yeah, the orthodontist took a look at his teeth and it took him quite a while to figure out how to fix that mess.

I was in braces for 4 years. =( Unfortunately I didn't wear my retainers long enough, so my teeth have migrated since then. Not as bad as they were before the braces, but still. It's bad enough I'd like to get braces again to correct it.

Do you ever do macros? =) I've been having a blast this spring photographing the blooming trees and flowers.

Here's one of my favs:

Haven't learned any fancy tricks yet... Wow that's beautiful!
