Lenses and Photography Vocabulary

I would use a telephoto lens to shoot at a volleyball game because you can take good action photos.

I would use a prime lens to take pictures at a basketball  game because once the photo is taken, it increases the sharpness and lets in a lot of light. A prime lens also enhances muscle tone, veins, and sweat which can be very good for a basketball picture.

I would use a wide-angle lens to shoot the halftime show at a football game. You want to get all of the entertainers in the photo such as the band, the dancers, and the cheerleaders.
