I had a dream like that once - holding my severed head in my hands. It was heavy and felt every bit as disgusting as you'd think. Don't understand how I could see it with eyes I no longer had. Bleargh. x_x

Modern photoshop is so good it looks (in the right hands) so good.These have a degree of wrongness that adds to the creep factor.

If these photos were a modern hoax, I wouldn't think twice on them. As it is, I'm a little creeped out.

Alright Professor, after your constructive criticisms of my Highland Dancing shots, I investigated the features of my newly acquired camera a bit more and am mildly pleased with the results. Take a look in the Events and Conventions group and compare my Roller Derby photos from last year with the ones I took last night.

Events and Conventions

Admittedly, I haven't figured out the whole aperture thing just yet, copped out and used the 'sport mode' . . .

Yes, I had extra dye this year, so I did my back hair as well.

I must admit, I knew he'd died his hair green, but I didn't realise it had grown to those sort of lengths..

...a good telephoto will get you decent feet shots, even candid feet shots if you really want...

OK, now I feel we have entered a weird place.

Your post makes me imagine Forlath on a grassy knoll near a wading pool with a telephoto lens and one of these suits:

Ok, so most decent cameras will achieve holiday shots. Portrait, you will probably want a longer lens. To stop peoples noses from looking bigger than they actually are.

For most sports again you will probably need a longer lens as you tend to be away from the action I'd try to buy a 80-300mm Zoom lens as well the combination of the two would be ideal for most situations. (They are the two lenses I most commonly shoot with). Don't go for the top end of the lens range (maybe not even cannon lenses) as you are paying for minor improvements in quality and F stop. Look at the Tamron and Sigma range of lenses, they are very good, but you don't pay for the Cannon name.

If you want to expand your collection of feet images I strongly recommend a 8mm fisheye lens. They are such a wide angle it is almost impossible to not get your feet, or someone else's feet in the picture..

For toe nail shots I'd suggest a 150mm macro lens. you can get good macro without getting too much of the smell. Of course a good telephoto will get you decent feet shots, even candid feet shots if you really want to, but they must be almost stationary or in good light to reduce blur.
