That's okay, John, I was feeling kinda bitchy this morning. Now I see what you were trying to do and why having the lens more centred might help.
Nice cats.

Honestly, this is a super minor nitpick of a problem, but it's one that's gotten steadily more noticeable as SLRs and P&S cameras have become more and more compact. But, whatever. It doesn't matter. I was just feeling bitchy last night because my friends ditched me and I was home alone for New Year's.
