High School Sports

I like them alot. What camera did you shoot them with?

I applied for yearbook and all that, I have had one interview and he said I am "In good shape" that I am the only Freshman that applied and he is going to need people who can shoot sports photography.
Anyways, I only have a 50mm lens for my camera right now, and was wondering if buying a 70-300 would be good enough? He supplies us with D70s but I figure I might aswell use my own camera so I only have to take a CF card back and forht.

All the pics were shot with a D50.

All the basketball pics were shot with the 50mm f1.8. It is such a sharp lens, love it.

The hockey pics were a combination of 70-300mm f4-5.6 and the 50mm f1.8.

The 70-300mm is very useful for football, soccer, baseball, etc. as long as it's in daylight. Unless you buy the f2.8 version, it will suck out loud for night games.
