Few shots by a photography newbie.

No worries mate!

I'm not too intune with sports photography, but I feel like you'd probably want at least a 200mm for it depending on the sport. I tried shooting a brothers football game with a 50mm and found that was WAY too small. So I'd imagine around a 250mm is where you'd want to be for that, depending again on whether you have a crop sensor or not.

Yea was doing a bit of research there and 200mm+ seems to be standard for sports. My lens "want" list is becoming more expensive by the minute!

This was a photo I took at an Ulster rugby match against Irish rivals Munster - fully zoomed in 55mm lens with 1.6x crop factor - I was only about 30ft away from the mascot - definitely need a longer lens!

Nice, I like the "tone" that image has. Looks almost oldschool. Watch your horizons

beautiful shots. If I weren't on a college student budget, I'd invest in a 55-200mm lens in a heartbeat lol
