Newbie with t5 with lens questions

[Ponchonutty]

OK I finally saved up and bought me a nice camera. Two things that I want to use it for is for my sons' Friday night football games and also for interior pictures in real estate. The kit came with the standard general purpose lens. What should I look for to make sure I can take good telephoto pictures with poor lighting? Also for interior real estate pictures can I get away with using a fisheye lens adapter ? Thx!!!!

Any idea on how to upload pictures on here from photobucket?

[jazzman1]

not a clue.  i don't even know what photobucket is.

Just u/l from your computer.  Far easier.  You will have to input the ULR of Photobucket to use it.

What about this lens for night football shots?  I found appears to be a good deal on a used one.

These pictures were taken with this lens I bought off Ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/161759563761?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Lighting was obviously pretty dark but wasn't completely night time.  Distance was about 80-100 yards out. No photo touchups were done to these pictures

Are thoes shots what you want?  If so glad you got it going.

[Ponchonutty]

Well although I was impressed with what I got, I feel that when it's totally dark, they may not be all that great

[ebiggs1]

"they may not be all that great"

You said it not me!    So since you did, I agree.  They aren't that good now.  When conditions get worse, so will the images.  The bottom line is you need a f2.8 or faster lense for this kind of work.  A f5.6 lene\s is just going to be a real challenge to use.

I agree these pics don't look as good as they could, and yes, as stated a faster lens will do better.  But till you do buy a another lens you can make your pics more acceptable in post.  Just a suggestion till you are able to get better lens.  Actually to me these pics are not that bad.  They won't make the cover of national geographic but they'll pass.   Though i suppose everyone sees pics from different perspective.
