Speaking of soccer...well, I wasn't, but Jada was...
I have a collection of pictures on Flicker here. I have both Star Wars and soccer pictures. Oddly enough, my most-viewed picture is of a soccer ball (with a team blurred in the background). The soccer ball photo has more views than any of my Star Wars pictures, including the Slave Leia pictures which are in second place.
I used to coach my two boys, but now that they are teenagers and much better soccer players than I ever was, I leave the coaching to the professionals.

Wow! You have excellent photos! What kind of camera are you using? Is it digital or film? Very impressive.

It's really bad when you bring out a sock that you haven't logged into in over a year and find a PM.
Then you look at the sig and have no idea why you put those things in there.

Thanks! It's digital, a Nikon D200. On one hand it's awfully expensive for just a hobby. On the other hand, one of my pictures got published in the Star Wars Celebration Europe Official Program Guide, and several have made it into Bantha Tracks Online and Star Wars Insider Magazine, so it seems to be worth it. On the third hand, --no, wait, I'm human, no third hand

I'll have to direct my hubbie to your photos. He wants to upgrade to a better camera because he is an amateur photographer and enters contests. Well, one contest so far but I encourage him.
Congrats on getting your stuff published. You should send in some of your soccer photos and see if you can cash in on them.

Those are some pretty awesome photos. I've been interested in photography for a couple of years now and I just recently entered my first photo contest. A local newspaper was sponsoring it. Right now I am using a Fuji FinePix A340. It's a 4 megapixel point and shoot but It get's the job done. I used it to take the photo I entered in the contest. Here...
Anyway. I am wanting to upgrade to the Fuji FinePix S9000. It's a 9 megapixel almost SLR. It has most of the features you would find on an SLR and it even has an auto focus and manual focus option. But the lens is not removable. It does have lens attachments that you can buy for a fish eye effect or panoramic effect. It even has a hot shoe so you can use a different flash, maybe something with a diffuser. It normally runs around $600 or so but the price has come down and I have found it for as low as about $350. I usually get money from my dad for Christmas and my birthday, it's in February, so I think I will save that money and buy me a new camera.

Just remember that cameras don't take pictures, people take pictures. An upgraded camera can't hurt, but your eye, your style, and your interest will affect how interesting your pictures come out more than what brand or model of camera you get. And based on that wonderful flower shot, it looks like you'll do great.
In the last contest I entered, I used a picture of a Princess Leia from the Celebration IV costume contest. I made the final round but didn't win anything. It's still fun to enter.
Interesting place, this Restaurant & Bar at the Galaxy far far away. I'm glad I found it.

I agree - people take the picture. I recently took this one with his camera:
I'd like to crop the sunlight out of it but it would make the picture disproportional.
My biggest pet peeve when taking photos is that all my closeups get too blurry.

Yes, the sunlight balances the paws.
Sorry I can't help you with the closeups.

I always get too close to the subject and then it ends up blurry.
Then again, one of the best pics of me and of my daughter [two separate pics] was taken by a $20 piece of junk.

I realized this shortly after I got into photography. The main reason I want to upgrade is I want a camera that will give me the choice of manual or auto focus. I want the manual focus so I can have more control on my close up and action shots. I got lucky with that flower picture, I actually took that picture 6 times before I got it the way I wanted it. I also want to be able to use a different flash. Something with a diffuser so I don't get so much flash back when I take a shot thru glass or with something shiny in the background. But thanks for the advice.

And I just got home at that^ time from work. But then again, I've off today. 
Guess it's some time for shopping... food shopping, because it's a national holiday tomorrow.
